Well, I tried again with exactly what was in the developer website:
https://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/SubmittingPatches and it failed
again but then I tried replacing USERNAME with my username and it
works.

Can I suggest that the documentation be updated to use <USERNAME>
rather than the literal USERNAME?

Anyone doing Wireshark development is likely familiar with that syntax
but also familiar with other sites, like Phabricator, that do use a
literal string in the username portion.

Feel free to modify the Wiki to suit, but IIRC you're the first person to fall into this "trap".
