More precisely match how GitHub auto-links usernames when escaping usernames to suppress pings. Perhaps most noticeably, this now keeps punctuation outside of the escaped username.

Just noting that performing non-trivial changes to homu might be a bit futile at the moment. We're in the processing of reimplementing the bot in Rust (https://github.com/rust-lang/bors). Created an issue for this: rust-lang/bors#258. |

This is now obsolete, due to https://github.blog/changelog/2025-11-07-removing-notifications-for-mentions-in-commit-messages/ ! 🎉 Should our escaping be removed entirely now? |

You can verify that this matches GitHub's behavior by copying the test string (with strings concatenated and
\ns resolved, of course) into a Markdown editor on GitHub and comparing what is auto-linked when rendered.Improves upon #100.
