Comment (by Clorith):

 The simple approach, that also addresses the scaling concerns, is to make
 this a purely JS driven feature.

 You rarely, if ever, need to at-mention users outside a topic, so making
 this build up the names list after the DOM is loaded and you know the
 available usernames (or just having the names pre-loaded in a JS variable)
 and limiting it purely to those entries inside that topic would contain
 things and not be a concern with regard to the system in general.
