Hmm, isn't 'make syntax-check' supposed to catch this, or does it only
catch missing email addresses, not missing/different realnames ?
Right now, it only catches missing email addresses. Two name spellings
from the same email don't get flagged. It would be nice to fix our
syntax-checker to flag it. Or even better, it would be nice to automate
the generation of 'AUTHORS' by using an AUTHORS.in template to list just
names of current commit rights, then generate a (sorted!) list of all
other contributors based on 'git shortlog' results.
