I am currently hesitant to allow users to do that independently and without restrictions, because people changing usernames all the time can cause a bunch of confusion with authorship, make search worse and also enables impersonation.
Right now, you can ping us on Intercom and we will gladly change your username.
Allow to edit one’s username (context: I now go by Mati_Roy instead of MathieuRoy, but I don’t want to create another account and loose my history).

@habryka, I don’t see Intercom, but I’m still interested in having my username changed; thank you!
Done!
