Comment (by Meiyer):
1. I do not see the complexity being mentioned in Mariusz’s feedback. The
change required for the validator itself is customisable logic to obtain
the attribute’s `value` (and possibly `verbose_name`) by substitution of
the line which performs `getattr` with a call to
`self.get_user_attribute`. This pluggable helper could be defined per
default as
{{{#!python
def get_user_attribute(self, user, attribute_name):
return getattr(user, attribute_name, None)
}}}
2. It is not possible to add properties to the built-in `User` model, and
switching the `User` model for code which runs in production multiple
years already with thousands of users is an endeavour too risky.
