Is this a problem now, or are you looking to solve it for future
releases?

I think the best you could do is post the non-ASCII names here, and have
affected people post back their names in HTML escaping or something that
suits the SGML docs.

For example my name is
Álvaro Herrera

Or, in Latin-1,
Álvaro Herrera

Most commit messages contain the ASCII version of my name, thus you
wouldn't notice the problem anyway. The COPY (select) commit message,
AFAIR, also has Zoltán's name in ASCII form (Zoltan).
