I've just fixed that line for EMACS_22_BASE.

I see no garbage for Jan's names in the ChangeLog files of
the trunk.

By the way, ChangeLog files use iso-2022-7bit that uses
ESC-sequence for encoding legacy charsets, and to which
legacy charset to map characters depends on the priorities
of charsets (and thus depends on one's locale).  Perhaps we
should now use utf-8 for ChangeLog files to keep constant
encoding result.
