 Get an Error in Plugin Directory and using
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/readme-validator


 {{{
 The following contributors listed were ignored, as the WordPress.org user
 could not be found. yaniiliev nicolapeluchetti. The Contributors field
 should only contain WordPress.org usernames.
 }}}

 The users do have valid (?) profiles

 https://profiles.wordpress.org/yaniiliev/
 https://profiles.wordpress.org/nicolapeluchetti/

 What is wrong here?

Comment:

 This could be improved by something like...

 - using <code> and "
 - mentioning commas.

 Eg:
 > {{{
 > The following contributors listed were ignored, as the WordPress.org
 user could not be found.
 > <code>"yaniiliev nicolapeluchetti"</code>.
 > The Contributors field should only contain WordPress.org usernames
 separated by commas.
 > }}}

 I'm re-opening this, and modifying the title as such.
