Vertical Tabs on User Account Edit page

The great possibility of having fields in core, and even more great possibility with fields on user profile may raise the problem, when the user account edit page simply has too much content. On the other hand, there are vertical tabs here and there and it could be possible to redesign user account edit form to compress all system forms, as in the included screenshot and patch. This patch has no API changes, it only moves user form fieldsets to vertical tabs. It keeps registration form untouched. To avoid scrolling, it splits username and password form into username/password and roles/status.

This issue raised when thinking about #967566: Several important Core User settings need to implement hook_field_extra_fields() → , and in fact, I also included in the patch change so that username/password/roles/status can be reordered on Manage Fields tab. After all, the user account edit page looks in my opinion much more prettier

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
