That's quite strange. I just rechecked my PDF copy of the papers, and
they correctly spell my name as "Sascha".

So perhaps it's just a typo of the FSF clerk.
Richard?

I did write him a mail, and I'm now waiting for his response...
As stated before: the name on the papers is correct, so guess a typo
by the clerk is the only explanation.

I just got the answer. The spelling should now be everywhere the
same: "Sascha", for that's my name... ;-)

Ah, I didn't notice this difference. (I searched for "Wilde" and
checked the mail address.)
There are only changes by "Sascha Wilde" in Emacs and I can't find a
single article of "Sacha Wilde" in all Emacs list on Gmane. I'm
Cc-ing Sascha in this reply. Probably he should clarify the
misspelling (?) with assign<at>gnu.org?

While at it: In etc/ChangeLog there is:
,----[ etc/ChangeLog ]
| 2006-02-23 Herbert Euler <herberteuler@hotmail.com> (tiny change)
|
| * TUTORIAL.cn: Fix omission bug: Add dot (ASCII 0x2E) on first line.
`----
Given that "Herbert Euler" writes "Regards, Guanpeng Xu" in his
articles[1], I doubt that "Herbert Euler" is the right name.
Recently, there was a tiny contribution to Gnus from "xyblor
<fake@invalid.email>" [2]. I'm quite reluctant to include anonymous
contributions because there is no way to ensure that the same person
doesn't contribute more than a single "tiny change". Do we have
guidelines for such cases?
Bye, Reiner.

If we are picky about this, then we have a _huge_ problem!
Just look at the authors-aliases list in lisp/emacs-lisp/authors.el ...

The way I understand it, the aliases don't matter. What matters is
that the log entries use the _legal_ name of the contributor, which is
the name stated in the papers he/she signed.
But IANAL.

The aliases are there because the ChangeLogs and other files use
those _different_ names for authors. I'm pretty sure that only one
of those names match the one on file.
IANAL either.

It is not a problem to use multiple ways of writing someone's name,
provide we have an explicit table of equivalences. Our clerk can
handle that.
