- The issue filtering frontend code needs access to this API for non-logged-in
  users + public projects. It uses the API to fetch information for a user by
  username.

- We don't authenticate this API anymore, but instead - if the `current_user` is
  not present:

  - Verify that the `username` parameter has been passed. This disallows an
    unauthenticated user from grabbing a list of all users on the instance. The
    `UsersFinder` class performs an exact match on the `username`, so we are
    guaranteed to get 0 or 1 users.
  - Verify that the resulting user (if any) is accessible to be viewed publicly
    by calling `can?(current_user, :read_user, user)`
