Find user by username

[HairlessMom]

Hello!
Is it possible to use the deprecated rest/api/2/user?username=some_user?
We have old version of Jira and it's not possible to search with accountId.

same question - looks like no - I have a special jira ticket to get allocated user for that...

Hey @HairlessMom @dzaina,
I am currently short on time for open-source contributions due to other/private obligations. If you are able to fix it, I am happy to review a pull request. Thanks for contributing to open source (also via this discussion!) and thanks for understanding.
