See the discussion at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Persistent_proposals#Converting_User:_prefix_to_Editor:_prefix]. This would be a pretty painless change.
Adding shell keyword. BTW: This proposal does not look like a successfully straw poll from the English speaking community.
I would support this, as "User" is equally misleading as "Image" (bug 44) was! A so called 'user' not just 'uses' a Wiki, he/she 'edits' it ;-) But the poll really seems to be a stand-off (tie).

I don't see consensus for this at en.wiki.
Bugzilla is not a mechanism for sidestepping the usual decision making processes, tedious though they may be. Making a request here should be the very last part of the process. This does not currently have the support of the community; re-open in the event that it ever does.
