Description

Now that we've modified JSPWiki to allow users to change not only their Name but also their login name, I don't see any way for JSPWiki administrator to keep track of users over time. For many reasons of administration, billing, user behavior management, I think there should be some way to unambiguously identify a particular user, no matter how often they may change their profile.
