I think it was objectively a long time to make the transfer. I would argue that 'finally' implies the slowness, not whether it's negative or positive. So the edit is not a problem.

No comment on the use of "rightful" or "happy"? It implies that he had a valid claim to the handle and the outcome was good. Why do these pass your test?
Because they are in the title in the original article. On HN, titles should generally be used as they stand originally and not modified, which is what zeckalpha means when he or she refers to editorializing.
Oh! My reading of his comment is that his issue is not with the changing of the title but with its editorialization. I'm still reading it that way, even after you've clarified it for him.
Right, but you don't have to change a title to editorialize. Your comment appears to take issue with the editorialization — not the title change specifically — which might help to explain some of the responses you're getting.
Twitter never responded to publicly, nor did they actually or take action for well over a month. From @N's feed, it seems that he got it back himself somehow, too.
"finally" implies that Twitter was too slow in reacting to this. Please don't editorialize.
