Description 

On registration you can register a new account even if there is
already a user with this name (but with some letters
lower/uppercase).

An example: There could be a user "alice" and a user "Alice" at the
same time.

It's probably good enough to just force usernames to lowercase for
now. Both on login and on register, we should do username.lower().

I wrote a fix to force usernames to be lowercase:
