Uhm, sorry but once again (in proper way by striping e-mails) and

Actually, given that you have to deal with a file, some of the people
who have edited it being English speakers who might have primitive
OSes or editing tools, the proper way is probably to strip the e-mail
addresses, strip accents off the letters (or perhaps map umlauted
vowels in German to <vowel>e), and *then* "uniq -c". :-)
(AUTHORS is now a file with a UTF-8 Byte Order Mark at the beginning:
$ file AUTHORS
AUTHORS: UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) English text
so all new entries can, and probably should, get the appropriate
accents on letters, even for languages that would use ISO Latin-n for
n > 1.)
In any case:
List of people:
2 Jon Ringle
2 Joost Yervante Damad
2 Markus Seehofer
2 Martijn Schipper
2 Matthias Drochner
2 Thomas Dreibholz
2 Thomas Palmer
Some of these people have two different e-mails,
but likely they're the same person, right? :)
Probably, but a little extra Googling might be worth doing first.
In one of the "different e-mails" case (Markus Seehofer), the two
addresses are for the same company - the format of the names is
different, but that might be "official e-mail format" vs. "login
name". In another case (Martijn Schipper), one's for Intersil and
one's for GlobespanVirata, but Intersil sold the PRISM chipset product
lines to GlobespanVirata (and then to Conexant, which is in the "past
jobs" list for the Linkedin page for a Martijn Schipper), so it's
presumably the same person.
So I've checked in a change to merge the entries for everybody but
Joost Yervante Damad, Thomas Dreibholz, and Thomas Palmer; those are
*probably* the same people, but I'll poke around a bit with Google
first.
