Issue Description:

Names with non-Latin characters are not imported correctly:

http://swift.trydiscourse.com/u?name=1&period=all

They could be transliterated using:

name.applyingTransform(
  StringTransform("Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; Any-Title"),
  reverse: false)

I don't think it's okay to transliterate people's names…

Let me see if we can resolve this for our final import.

Actually, no, I don't think we should transliterate either....

There are only 20 users affected, so maybe it's not worth resolving. But you could take the local-part of their email address as a username. This is already the case for https://swift.trydiscourse.com/u/no-reply and a few others.

Maybe we can just offer those people the option of what to do with their username.

Will everyone be able to change their own username?
e.g. https://swift.trydiscourse.com/u/taylorswift

They will when they sign up. After that they can only change them with admin intervention, I think.

@@belkadan, the macOS "Users & Groups" prefPane transliterates people's names, when suggesting an account name for their home folder.

@najacque (JIRA User), can this bug report be closed now?

Yep! Closing.

Ben, fair point. As long as it's a suggestion or default rather than a forced thing, it would be a reasonable thing to do. It sounds like it's not going to matter too much this time around, though!
