(Before I start, I'm +1 but... 🙂)
Just having a quick go over the history here...
* Original discussion floated a change to 100 or 150 chars.
* Aymeric valued fixing the issue for 99.999% of cases.
* Tom Christie wanted an "human value", not a machine one. 100 chars
was suggested.
* Florian said 150 chars, still human, a bit longer.
* This didn't get resolved.
*
https://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/15ef1dd478c5b6f005e5f782b7619f718ed55e84
set the limit to 254 chars for User.username.
* Comment at https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20846#comment:25 begins,
"This patch breaks on MySQL..." — some discussion of using 191 chars.
*
Eventually
https://github.com/django/django/commit/780bddf75b93784470a2e352ed44ee35a751d667
reduces the limit to 150 chars.
*
https://github.com/django/django/commit/d5b573d872bbe0d5825efaee2d41cb3cdc75417b
follows suit (to 150 chars) for `last_name`
Current state of play is that username and last_name are 150 chars.
first_name is still 30 chars.
https://github.com/django/django/blob/ff8020ed49571b0fece67d10d7398d5f57cbaa74/django/contrib/auth/models.py#L288-L308
I don't know what's going on with first_name but I think 150 chars is the
go-to value here.
(Hey, nice 🚲 🙂)
