Comment (by samiamnot):

 Usernames in WordPress are not considered a security issue.


 > It has been stated in previous tickets, "leaking" of the username is not
 deemed a security issue by WordPress.org, as it's a conscious decision to
 use the username as the slug in the URL, If you don't like this default
 behavior, there are plugins in the repository which allow you to change
 the url format to your preferred layout.
