Yes, I went through Emacs ChangeLog files a while ago and fixed many
spellings of names that had been ASCIIfied under the assumption that it
was problematic to put non-UTF8 characters in text files. It's only
polite for us to spell our contributors' names correctly, so I installed
the attached patch to try to do a better job with glibc contributor
names too. Because the patch has mixed encodings I compressed it; you
may need special settings to read it, but it works fine with Git.
A few of our recent contributors (Rafael Ávila de Espíndola, Uroš
Bizjak, Alexandra Hájková, István Kurucsai, Rafał Łużyński) use their
natively-spelled names sometimes and their ASCIIfied names at other
times, and it's conceivable that they prefer their names to be ASCIIfied
when used in English text so I'll ask them before adjusting their names
in the glibc commentary.
Hi,
after this change, the testcase posix/tst-regex is failing!
Please have a look at my proposed patch "[PATCH] Fix posix/tst-regex by
using ISO-8859 encoding for ChangeLog.8."
