Etsy: user name link and profile external service

Title:
Etsy: user name link and profile external service

Area:
cross-site excellence

Summary:
Given that Dreamwidth has a lot of crafters, there might be interest in a specific Etsy shop remote user name before someone gets around to the easily-add-services feature.

Description:
As we know, remote site user name linking works for any site where users can be found at www.[service.tld]/users/[name], even if it isn't set up so there's a site-specific user-head to link there. [Edit: the proper location is 'users', not 'user'. My bad.]

Etsy's user URLs take the form of www.etsy.com/shop/[name], and their profile URLs www.etsy.com/people/[name].

Are there enough Etsy crafters, and people who know Etsy crafters, that it would be useful to be able to easily link to Etsy crafters before someone gets to bug 23 (http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23) ?
