 If a WP site has multiple authors with the same display name (either
 because of having a large user base with common names or because of having
 several testing users with the same display name), why not show the user’s
 login name in the dropdown menu?

 This step in the import process shows the display name and the user name
 of the new user(s) to be imported, but leaves existing users ambiguous if
 they have the same name.

 Current behavior:

 Proposed behavior:

 behavior.png)]]

 I’m more than willing to work on this and submit a patch.
