I don't know what cn and sn are. cn = Christian name, sn = surname?
My family name is Oohara and my personal name is Yuuma.
I am _not_ Yuuma Oohara -- in Japan a family name comes before
a personal name. The NM application form insisted on the
personal-name-family-name order, so it may be the cause of the bug.
I don't see any point in splitting a developer's name into the
family name and the personal name, but it is another issue.
