well it depends on what you want to achieve. if your goal is o turn the temporary-by-design usernames into a semi-permanent identifier, or if you want for there to be an option to bypass the requirement for a message request before you see profile info, then yeah, it'd require changes on Signal's end, but would also be a bad idea for reasons i hope are obvious.
otherwise @keyoxide@fosstodon.org could take a similar-ish approach to the Discord verification by utilising a public group.

@qgustavor@urusai.social @signalapp@mastodon.world @keyoxide@fosstodon.org i believe there should be enough info attainable from a public group in the current state to be able to prove ownership of a username. the claim would have to be two-part (full username and link to public group), the proof a tad more involved (group with you as the only admin, locked to disallow changes, proof in the group details) and so the verification process (querying the username and joining the group to see both identifiers), but it should work AFAIK.
