I asked the author of Biostar about this and he added some code to do it. I will test that code and follow up. If those of you who want to merge multiple users (Kasper, I think you're one, sorry I misnderstood your earlier question) could email me off-list and let me know the users they want to merge and the one they want to be the result of the merge, I'll test it out.
