I think that would be the best approach here. Then it's something done
on the server and *stays* that way. You won't need a config file mapping
ids to users but you have real usernames stored in the repository, and
won't risk losing the info if you ever lose the map file. Also, you
won't get into troubles if one user ID one day gets assigned to a new user.
