Dave has reported three issues but it has different names in the RSS for them:

I had set my display name to use those unicode characters at various times in the past for testing, and fun :) So it is displaying the name I had set at that point in history.
Ups, I have not read this comment before Dave. I am sorry.
Is there any way to read the changes for a ticket using the REST interface in order to get the user_id for the people in the discussion?
I have the reference to the Thread:
https://sourceforge.net/rest//p/allura/tickets/_discuss/thread/a3178034/
but not the discussion entries :( "discussion_id": "4c3493551be1ce11d8000034" Maybe using this identifier against some REST endpoint I can receive the changes for this issue.
Thanks!
Yes, for each post in that thread URL, just append the slug to the URL. Like https://sourceforge.net/rest/p/allura/tickets/_discuss/thread/a3178034/bd21/ and https://sourceforge.net/rest/p/allura/tickets/_discuss/thread/a3178034/29c6/ Those contain the author field as just the username.
Not very efficient to fetch each of those individually, but I think that it'll work.
