Bug description:
  [Impact]

  sudo 1.8.9p5 had a bug which caused any rule added to sudoers to be
  ignored if the user was stated by user id (with the username works
  just fine).

  [Test Case]

  * Rules using user id should work after the fix.

  #33        ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/whatever

  * Also make sure that rules using username still work.

  myusername        ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/whatever

  [Regression Potential]

  This bug has been fixed in the current stable release of sudo
  (1.8.10p3).
