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.
