Re: Spelling of contributor names (was: [PATCH 03/12] Don’t use the argument to time)

(While we want to move away from Contributed by lines and put those
credits in contrib.texi instead, removal isn't an option when the name
appears in a copyright notice rather than a Contributed by line, which
applies in at least one case.)

Yes, thanks for mentioning these glitches. I installed the attached to fix them.

I'm afraid we're stuck with the ASCIIfied spellings in the old copyright notice in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/sys/user.h, as <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-03/msg00293.html> says the file must be ASCII, and the file's copyright notice requires that we keep the contributors' names. This is merely an annoyance of course, and I assume any future contributors in this situation won't mind ASCIIfying their names either.

Subject: [PATCH] Don't put non-ASCII into installed headers

Move non-ASCII contributor names from installed headers
into contrib.texi when possible, and when it's not (the
copyright notice in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/sys/user.h)
go back to ASCIIfied names.  Problem reported by Joseph Myers in:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-08/msg00646.html
