Include usernames in translator credits

Describe the problem

Currently, the output for translator credits includes the translator's email, name, and change count.

Describe the solution you would like

It would be useful for me for automatic translation attribution if the output also included the account username of the translator.

Describe alternatives you have considered

It would probably be possible to pull out the username through some incantation of API calls, but it's not ideal considering this endpoint already has access to this information, and simply omits it.

account username of the translator.

Hi @nijel,
I’m encountering difficulties with the tests related to author usernames in the generate_credits function. The ReportsTest are failing, and I’m unsure why. Specifically, is the author_username field being used correctly to retrieve the username?
Here is my implement on this issue:
