Decide if we should accept actual username or URL slugs

As the description of the module says that it accepts the D.O usernames. I think our understanding of Drupal username is with the username field value that we have at /user/{uid}/edit page and it would be a good idea to use it instead of URL slug. I would vote to go with the first proposed option to 'Remove the prefix and accept a username'.

I think I'd prefer the uid drupal.org/u/nicxvan I would enter nicxvan.

A couple of questions:
Can you get the username from the path so you can hit the api still?
Would you be able to have an update hook that updates existing fields to the uid, I've entered hundreds on https://talkingdrupal.com/guests and would not want to re-enter them.

Thanks, @nicxvan. You said you'd prefer the UID, but your example indicates a URL.

Also, what have you entered in the fields on the page you linked to? I am guessing you have entered the UID itself and that is why you created 🐛 Usernames with Spaces do not work Needs review . Is my understanding correct?

Sorry, I think I turned myself around.

Ideally I can just copy the path from drupal.org/u/
nicxvan or rajab-natshah
