If the user is logged in and you've RequestContexts enabled, then you
can
easily pass the username like request.user.username

This is not a specific case for comments alone but to any app that

For any general web-application, every user is expected to enter his
details like first name and last name so it's not a usual case to have
both
of them empty.
But your point has been noted, will have a discussion with the core
