I don't get it. What does your patch add in contrast to what is already supported? As of Redmine version#119, user links in the following formats are supported:
* @user#userid@ (eg. @user#1@)
* @user:login@ (eg. @user:admin@)
* <code>@login</code> (eg. <code>@admin</code>)

For the rationale behind the supported syntax, see #4179. Basically, it comes down to this:
* Redmine links with a pound sign behind the object take a numerical value
* Redmine links with a colon behind the object take a textual value

Can you please elaborate on the purpose of and rationale behind your patch?

I'm sorry my local trunk was at 3.3.0, so this feature wasn't implemented.

Not a problem. I'll close this issue accordingly.

OT: still, your patch won't apply to 3.3.0 either...
