There are a number of non-ascii maintainers in
/var/lib/dpkg/available on sarge:
frank@kuesterei.ch
fschueler@gmx.net
gurkan@linuks.mine.nu
acfb@users.sourceforge.net
noel@debian.org
weinholt@debian.org
cedric@debian.org (appears both in latin1 and UTF-8)
ilmari@ping.uio.no
ender@debian.org (appears both in latin1 and UTF-8)
etc. etc. I am too lazy to continue
There are even non-ascii maintainers in *woody's* available-file
(check nick@debian.org).
