Since it's simple to change the login for existing users via CAS, is it possible to redirect repos and usernames as well? Is that even needed? What are the options?

Handled while resolving T288392. See set-usernames - a quick and dirty utility for changing usernames in bulk for the necessary API invocation, namely (as expressed in the Python wrapper):
user.username = new_username user.provider = "cas3" user.extern_uid = new_username user.save()
I'll tidy this up into a standalone utility for future renames.
