Hmm, I see the political difficulties. And it doesn't matter if someone
is listed as the queen of England, Holland, Belgium, or whichever. As
long as the same email-address as used in bugzilla is listed.

I am only concerned about bugsquatters recognizing a maintainer and thus
having the easy decision to ignore the bug-report, even when it seems
incomplete. (I made this mistake once already)
