 In [changeset:"7478"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="7478"
 Use 'user_nicename' when adding a member via autocomplete in the group
 admin dashboard page.

 Previously, 'user_login' was used, which is an unsanitized version of the
 username.  When attempting to add a member with special characters (such
 as an email address), the JS would throw an error.

 Switching to 'user_nicename' allows a sanitized version of the username to
 be used and fixes the issue with the autocomplete JS.

 Fixes #5187.
