 Someone should reach out to "Wegmann" and find out if it is the same user
 and offer to use Special:UserMerge to merge their users.

 Changing all wiki usernames could be done with a slightly altered form of
 the UserRename extension's "renameUser.php" script:

 I'm willing to do that this weekend if you want.
