Web commit signing docs mention a restriction that isn't necessary

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.5/admin/configuration/configuring-your-enterprise/configuring-web-commit-signing

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The article says that you must use web-flow as the username when configuring the different aspects of web-commit signing. It turns out that there is no requirement for the username to be web-flow. There is only a requirement that the username is consistent across all of the steps.

We had a customer who was restricted from making a user named web-flow so they assumed they were blocked.

I would like to update the article to reflect the reality, and give web-flow as an example user name.
