In which case, we could easily have one person using his nick name in
front of the maintainer addresses. Note, that in my proposal I didn't not
say that that text in front of the address has to be the real name as
stored in the DB. We could use any name there as long it's unique:
Christian Schwarz 1 <schwarz@somewhere.1.com>
Christian Schwarz 2 <schwarz@somewhere.2.com>
Christian Schwarz n <schwarz@somewhere.n.com>
Christian (something) Schwarz <schwarz@somewhere.m.com>
... :-)
Cheers,
Chris
