 We often receive meetup applications that contain invalid or non-existent
 WordPress.org usernames. These all come from the application form here:
 https://central.wordcamp.org/meetup-organizer-application/

 It would be great if we could add some validation on that form that checks
 if the username exists (simply checking if the profile URL exists should
 be sufficient) and then, if it does not, prevents submission and directs
 the applicant to create a profile first.
