I still doubt there's any reason to do this. It wouldn't help people communicate: forums are at their best communicating to groups, with e-mail and IM being much faster for communicating individually. It wouldn't help in evaluating bug reports: it would be weird for a report to be handled differently because the reporter happened to be a Forums user. It wouldn't help in syncing the Launchpad and Forums accounts: any such syncing will involve the Forums knowing what your Launchpad ID is (thanks for adding that field, Ryan!), not the reverse. And as I suggested, Launchpad's knowledge of wiki names is a bug, not a feature, and not a precedent.
