Is there a way to add the usernames for upvotes to the voting details?

We've discussed months ago about it, and the community voted against.
On the other hand, being able to see who downvotes you helps to see brigading (though unlike other places, it has no effect on someone's posting/commenting ability here).
As mentioned in the welcome page, downvotes are not considered as a "I disagree" button.

Somehow I must have missed that discussion. I've been here almost daily for over a year now. Do you have a link to any relevant posts concerning that?
As for brigading, that stream flows both ways. I'm aware of the current philosophy as it pertains to voting but transparency would seem to indicate that all voting is of import. "Details" are hardly that if only half of the information is included.

I’m on mobile at the moment but you can search like about a 10~12 months old posts in Announcement and Poaldev. It’s about vote details.

Currently there is not, and it probably won't happen, I saw it as a necessary evil for people to be held accountable for their downvotes to stop the mass downvoting people based on who they are instead of what they posted and it seems it was quite an effective solution.
I can't see the same logic applying to upvotes. What would it add if people could see upvotes? The only thing I can see coming from that is people being discouraged from upvoting unpopular ideas

It's kind of a shame how troublemakers show up and make you have to do these things, but on the other hand, I suppose that improvements are a good thing, so I thank you for all you do.
