Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 @webdevmattcrom
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02QB8GMM/p1504726490000161 noted in
 #meta] that adding a support rep doesn't work for accounts that have an
 email as a username (`benmeredithgmailcom` in that case). The error is:
 `The provided user could not be found`. Adding the same user by email
 worked fine.

 I think special characters are no allowed in WP.org usernames, but it
 would be great to fix this for older accounts that might be affected.
