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.
