Show last user names if users change their user names
Recently, some users who are here for a longer time changed their usernames. It often happened that I saw a well-written question or answer from a user I supposedly have never seen before with a high activity. Of course, I know then that it must be someone who has just changed names but it sometimes it's really hard to know who this user was before changing names. Would it be possible to list last used user names on the profile for a given time frame (for example three months)? This way, it's possible to associate the new user name with the actions of the old user name[^1] without having to go through all posted questions and answers. [^1]: This also helps to prevent cases where troublesome users change names to temporarily lay low before they are "discovered" again.
