Description

Currently, only the avatar is displayed on desktop and mobile, not the full username. On desktop, we can see the username by hovering the mouse on the avatar, but there's no way to do that on mobile.

This is an accessibility issue because we should be able to read who is assigned to a task without further action either on desktop and mobile.

Here is an example:

Which alternatives did you consider using instead?

I agree this is an accessibility issue, especially on mobile where there's no hover option. Displaying the username alongside the avatar by default would solve this. Happy to help implement if needed.
