## Description

When there are many files in the files tab, each of them will cause a separate request to the users API. With enough files this will cause rate limiting (429) errors.

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Create a work package
2.  As the same user upload 3 files in the files tab
3.  With the network log open, reload the page
4.  notice 3 requests against /api/v3/users/n where N is your user's ID
5.  Add another file
6.  Repeat step 3 and notice 4 requests to the users API
7.  etc. pp.

### What is the buggy behavior?

  - The same user info is requested over and over again.

### What is the expected behavior?

  - The info for the same user should only be requested once and re-used.
