Rationale

The format for "user" data sent into 'push' and 'tags' webhooks is not consistent with merge request, notes events, issue.

It would be nice & clean to get this uniformized, that would help webhooks recipient code to handle webhooks more cleanly.

Details

Push events sends multiple user_* fields:

  "user_id": 4,
  "user_name": "John Smith",
  "user_username": "jsmith",
  "user_email": "john@example.com",

whereas other webhooks provide an inner structure for 'user'; for instance, issue events :

  "user": {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Administrator",
    "username": "root",
    "avatar_url": "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/e64c7d89f26bd1972efa854d13d7dd61?s=40\u0026d=identicon",
    "email": "admin@example.com"
  },

Not a real blocker point, but I think there's some legacy behind this that could be improved.
