Uh, we've *never* supported "two bruce users" ... users have always been
installation-wide.  I am not sure what the notion of a database-owning
user means if user names are not of wider scope than databases.

No doubt we could redesign the system so that user names are local to a
database, and break a lot of existing setups in the process.  But what's
the value?  If you want separate usernames you can set up separate
postmasters.  If we change, and you don't want separate user names
across databases, you'll be out of luck.
