There's a module for that Module name/project name: Drupal.org Username Field Brief history How old: created in August 2019 by hussainweb AKA Hussain Abbas of Axelerant Versions available: 2.0.0-beta4 Maintainership Actively maintained, that release was made less than 6 months ago Test coverage Number of open issues: 8 open issues, none of which are bugs Usage stats: 1 site Module features and usage The module provides a new field type, along with its own widget and formatter With a simple checkbox, you can get the module to validate that the provided username is registered on drupal.org What's really powerful about this module is that it can also pull other information from the drupal.org profile, such as first and last name, country, bio, and more It does this by leveraging a Guzzle-based API client for drupal.org that Hussain created as part of a DrupalCon Asia developer contest I believe the intended use of the modules is to use a provided drush command to copy the values from the drupal.org username field into other fields, where they would be displayed to site visitors Although this module isn't something that a lot of sites will need, I could see it being really useful for Drupal camp websites, to automatically collect a lot of the information that many such sites ask users to populate manually I think it's also an interesting use of the Drupal.org API, and could be a useful reference for anyone needing to implement a custom integration
