Apply this XSL template to your XML files (there are several command line tools that can do this)

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="node() | @*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="screen_name/text() | username/text()">
    <xsl:value-of select="concat(., count(preceding::member) + 1)" />
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
