adding Ravelry to supported external sites for "magical" linking usernames

Title:
adding Ravelry to supported external sites for "magical" linking usernames

Area:
linking usernames (dreamwidth specific tag)

Summary:
What it says on the tin :D I would love it if we could add Ravelry.com to the sites supported so that I could write user name=anatsuno site=ravelry.com as a user thingie! Rav uses this structure for their user profiles: http://www.ravelry.com/people/anatsuno

Description:
I don't see what else to say... Except that I know Ravelry is mostly a memebers only site and the profile page aren't visible to non-members, yet I still think it is a worthy user tag to have... Because of the overlap in users in both sites' membership, if nothing else. :))

I don't have a Ravelry account and will probably never link to one but I think it makes sense to match the user name feature with the accounts you can add to your profile and since Ravelry's already there...
