Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm developing an "Edit on Github" "plugin" for posts for Dev.to and I want to automatically accredit users in a list at the bottom of an article if they submit an edit, along with maybe something like line count changed. I want to automate this, so I'd need a way to search for Dev.to users by github username.

Is this currently possible?

Describe the solution you'd like

Describe alternatives you've considered

Having the user provide their Dev.to username manually.
