Description

`IGNORE_USERNAMES` is a workaround for an upstream problem https://github.com/errbotio/err-backend-gitter/issues/12 , and can be removed after that is fixed.

Ideally it gets fixed upstream, real quick, because it isnt going to work with GCI kids running their own instances.

Research direction

Start by locating IGNORE_USERNAMES and reviewing the upstream err-backend-gitter issue linked in the report. Confirm how the current workaround is used and what upstream behavior makes it necessary. Done should mean the username handling is dynamic rather than dependent on a fixed workaround, but the issue does not identify files or tests.
