9541	Allow wider choice of usernames	Richard Davies <richard.davies@…>	nobody	"django.contrib.auth restricts usernames to 30 characters or fewer, matching \w

Whilst it's good to disallow extreme values, this constraint can be significantly relaxed to allow longer usernames and some more characters (e.g. - . / \ )

My specific need is to allow UUIDs as usernames, so I attach a patch with extends to 36 characters and allows hyphens. I would encourage the maintainers to generalize this further before check in, to an even longer length and wider range of characters."		closed	contrib.auth			duplicate		richard.davies@…	Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
