You can't, an administrator can, but it was decided my the moderators and administrators previously that we would only allow username changes for memebrs with an established record of contribution, and as a general rule 200+ posts.
You can of course create a new account with your desired username, with only 6 posts including the one here in almost two years, is assume that it wouldn't casue you any problem to start again.

After mis-typing my password once, I logged in. And after the "welcome Clovis_Sangrail" message displayed for a little less than a second, the display changed to a screen to recover my username and/or my password (it prompted for an email address).
Clearly, I don't need to do that. Maybe... (1 Reply)

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD
ttyaction
TTYACTION(3) BSD Library Functions Manual TTYACTION(3)
NAME
ttyaction -- ttyaction utility function
LIBRARY
System Utilities Library (libutil, -lutil)
SYNOPSIS
#include <util.h>
int
ttyaction(char *ttyname, char *action, char *username);
DESCRIPTION
The ttyaction() function is used by login(1), getty(8), telnetd(8) and rlogind(8) to execute site-specific commands when a login session
begins and ends.
The ttyaction() function scans the /etc/ttyaction file for any records that match the current ttyname and action parameters, and for each
matching record, runs the shell command shown in that record. The record format is described in ttyaction(5). The parameter username is the
name of the new owner of the ttyname device. Note that the ttyname parameter may be passed as a fully qualified pathname, and the
ttyaction() function will skip the leading "/dev/" part of the string. (This is a convenience for login and getty.)
RETURN VALUES
ttyaction() returns the status of the last command it executed, or zero if no matching commands were found.
FILES
/dev/*
/etc/ttyaction
SEE ALSO
ttyaction(5)

BUGS
There should be some other mechanism to allow selection of different access control policies on a per-line basis. It has been suggested that
the same ttyaction() mechanism should also be used for determining access control, but it was decided (after much discussion) that
ttyaction() should only describe actions to be performed after the system has decided to change the ownership of some tty. Access control
policies will be handled by a separate mechanism.
