If a username has an underscore in it, we do some changes to make it a valid user-project shortname, by substituting _ to -. However it would be nice to support the web url to still have a underscore matching the username like /u/foo_bar/

And,we show "u/username" as the <h1> for user-project pages and the user's full name in <title>. I think it'd be better to show the full name in the <h1>

Additionally the "u/username" comes from the project's "name" field which in the past we allowed to be edited but no longer for user-projects. So it'd be good to avoid using that for user projects.
