Known Issues
While the module correctly detects the commenters names thanks to the a.username selector, unfortunately Backdrop does not provide explicit selector for the node authors. They come as part of submitted date string in form of Wed, 30/11/2022 - 17:18 by Alan Mels instead. So the easiest way of getting node author usernames quoted correctly is to template usernames as standalone link with a.username class.
