node_assign_owner_action_form() limits username length to 7 characters preventing any users who have username longer than 7 characters from being included.
Perhaps the solution here is to change maxlength to 60 like it is for the db field?

I don't care if I have to hack the core to fix this, what file is this in?

K, I found it, it's in modules/node/node.module

Thanks :)

This would need to be patched in 7.x, then backported to 6.x.

Looks good to me as far as I am concerned. Unless there is an overriding reason this is stuck at 7 characters, I would say it's RTBC.
