I've done a small check of the list (search for first names in the document), and found the following curiosities:

I see various cases where what seem to be names with Chinese origin are styled differently between this list and the feature list. Specifically, "Acknowledged", vs "Feature List":

"Mingli Zhang", vs "Zhang Mingli"
"Zhijie Hou", vs "Hou Zhijie" (cc-ed)

"Zongliang Quan", vs " Quan Zongliang"

I don't know if one order is preferred over the other, but it seems inconsistent. Hou, do you have more info on this?

Next, I noticed some other inconsistent names:

"Hubert Lubaczewski", vs "Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski"

"Paul Jungwirth", vs "Paul A. Jungwirth"

Sidenote: Paul Amondson is Amonson, Paul D on this list, and is not a duplicate entry for Paul A. Jungwirth as might be suspected based on initials.


Kind regards,
