different upstreams might have different account names for these users).
The current situation isn't a user friendly answer though. So we
should do something about it. If the short term fix is a hardcoded
list so be it.
Another short-term hack might be filtering out all users with
UID < 500.
This would make it possible to display human users that have UID
between 500 and 1000 and at the same time, filter out statically
assigned non-human users, e.g. mysql with UID 27.
