Comment:

 Status when testing against the trunk.

 1. It's possible to create a new user with `@` example `@testing` or
 `testing@` in wp-admin/users.php and http://wp.contribute/wp-admin/network
 /site-users.php

 2. Searching for users with `@` in their username doesn't work in wp-
 admin.

 3. Reset password for users using username with `@` doesn't work.

 The patch still fixes the issues, I refreshed it so it can be applied
 cleanly. From what I can see, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't
 include this to 5.3.
