Why would you be trying to find a user with that name? The messaging 
system is there to allow mappers to contact each other over edits 
they've made, in which case you always know their user name.

Messaging isn't meant to be a full-fledged replacement for email or 
these mailing lists. That's what, err, email and mailing lists are for.
If it helps, try to think of it like the User:Talk pages in MediaWiki.
