Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 reposting previous comment with formatting:

  * registration form -> unchanged (requires a username)
  * login form -> allow to log in using username or email
  * internal functions -> mostly changed as was previously done: if no
 username is present, use the email instead (this is to allow for imports
 from 3rd party software that lack a username)
  * edit user form -> it now requires the user to fill in a username if it
 was lacking
  *new user form -> it allows to fill in no username (this is mostly for
 testing purposes, but this also allows users registered by the admin to
 choose one to their liking)
