About three months ago I had this great idea, wouldn't it be fantastic if you could use @username style formatting on Drupal.org to notify other users of comments/issues that may be of interest to them, like on Twitter, surely a module like that wouldn't be too hard, right? I started work on it and got must of it nutted out quite quickly, but then I ran into two issues that I thought would be deal breakers, so I shelved the idea.

Last week I decided to have a look at it again and it turned out that the two issues I had run into where really quite minor and easy to overcome, so I knuckled down and got the module up and running and released the first development release.
