Package: www.debian.org Severity: normal The list of people listed on http://www.debian.org/devel/people contains many wrong names, and judging from https://paste.debian.net/153813/, the script that generates the page contains a pile of hacks for names that are wrongly parsed.
The page assumes that all names can be split into first and last names, but that is not the case for eastern names which have a different name order. Attempting to parse names of maintainers from the full display form also results in wrongly mangling team names. Take for example: * Chow Loong Jin (surname = Chow, given name = Loong Jin) which generated two entries, both of which were wrong: - Chow, Loong Jin - Jin, Chow Loong * Hardening, Packages * Desktop, Debian maintenance of the Gnome Online Given the complexity involved in parsing a name from its full displayed form, it is most probably a better idea to drop the name parsing altogether and just display it verbatim from the Maintainer field. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers oneiric-updates APT policy: (500, 'oneiric-updates'), (500, 'oneiric-security'), (500, 'oneiric'), (400, 'oneiric-proposed'), (100, 'oneiric-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-hyper2 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_SG.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
