<p dir="auto">It should be possible to create reliable links to user profiles that do not break when they change their display name.</p>
<p dir="auto">For example <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_by_id/16106660" rel="nofollow">https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_by_id/16106660</a> would simply return a 302 temporary HTTP redirect to <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/push-f" rel="nofollow">https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/push-f</a>. In the case that no user by the given id exists the route would just return a 404.</p>
<p dir="auto">The use case is that third-party services want to create reliable links to OpenStreetMap users.</p>
