Comment (by greatislander):

 It definitely should be restricted to editing one's own profile; thanks
 for the suggestion. That's in keeping with
 [https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/html/H98 WCAG Technique H98]
 related to this success criterion which notes that "the Success Criterion
 Identify Input Purpose and autocomplete attribute only place requirements
 on input fields collecting information **about the user**" so this would
 be in keeping the desired WCAG support. I'll update the patch accordingly.
