The forms that appear in my local archives are

Zhihong Yu <zyu@yugabyte.com>
Ted Yu <yuzhihong@gmail.com>

While that's not evidence that would satisfy a court of law, it's
close enough for the purpose at hand.

The yugabyte.com address doesn't seem to have been active since 2022
though; recent references to it are only in messages doing
reply-to-all.  I'd go with the gmail address as being current,
and therefore with "Ted" as being the person's current preference,
barring input to the contrary.

Westerners tend to have a hard time distinguishing given name
from family name in Eastern names, and the lack of consistency
about that in email signatures doesn't help :-(.  Our intention
in the release notes is to write given names first, but I'm sure
we've made many mistakes of that sort.  Perhaps some of our
Eastern colleagues can offer some help about which way to spell
these.  (Checking past iterations of the release notes could
be helpful, too.)
