Yeah, as you can tell I was even a bit confused by that section (thus the
TODO with the question, I was hoping for some input).  The impression I got
from the original box was that kojibuilder1, kojibuilder2 etc was the naming
they were using on their hosts, so by having the username be the same it
helped you tie the koji user to the build box.  When I implemented this on
my network I used the name of the box as the koji userid.  This does not
cause koji to automatically associate the two, but allows you as the admin
to make the association.   If someone has a better explanation i'm open to
suggestions since my attempt at clarification didn't quite hit the mark.

Anyways, in the Builder Setup section you add the host to koji's database
and then on the builder you specify the host as the user in
/etc/kojid/kojid.conf, these should match.  It was my impression that this
should match the user name that you created in the SSL configuration.  I'm
not sure if you are using SSL, and that might be adding to the confusion if
you are not *shrug*
