What is the issue with redmine?

Maybe it would help to include some information about allowed characters
for the community account name on

https://www.postgresql.org/account/signup/

Just to avoid, at least, problems that are caused by special characters
like "@" in a mail address, as was here the case. It can happen easier
that somebody gets to the idea to use their mail address instead of a
nickname, because many internet sites force them to do so.

Just an idea, although as I mentioned before, this does not really seem
to be an issue coming up every second day.

Bye
Charles
