 Another ticket related to empty/not set DisplayNames,
 when such user reports a topic, its impossible to see who has reported
 topic without looking into source code


 Example:


 {{{
 <li><a href="https://wordpress.org/support/users/koullis/"></a> on October
 5, 2022 at 5:36 pm reason: you can delete it there is a reply in similar
 post</li>
 }}}
 in this topic: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-
 vulnerability-4/?view=all


 Generally there is no reason to use Display Names there, when topic is
 reported by other person than topic participants, moderators have to click
 on reporter's name to get their profile link just to get their username
 for
 @-mention reply.

 Perfect solution will be to completely remove usage of display name there
 and use username.
