for this one, the ç is probably correct?

It's just what they've listed on their GitHub account. If the ç was preferred, I imagine that's what they would've listed.

Seems like the suspect commit would instead be tc39/data@af1da8f then? If delegates.txt has been a manually maintained file, then it should be the (basis for the new) source of truth, right? There's been no foregoing expectation for these names to be auto-updated via GH; it's conceivable for people to want to represent themselves differently wrt Ecma. 🤔

The names in delegates.txt are never updated, even when someone's preferred name changes, or when their legal name changes, each of which has happened multiple times. With few exceptions (all easily resolved manually), the data from GitHub is both more accurate and more respectful of their wishes.

Only four of seven delegates from my company are actually putting their full name in their GitHub profile, but all of them have been willing to provide it when registering as a delegate. It would be a problem if their provided, actual name got replaced with a potentially silly display name...yet evidently that didn't happen?

Yes, that is what I was referring to above: the data is sourced from delegates.txt and from the delegate's GitHub profile. I manually reviewed where they differed, and went with the GitHub profile except where the profile name fell into one of the following 3 categories:
- Incomplete or abbreviated profiles: Aditi Singh (Aditi), Aki Braun (Aki), Alissa Renz (alissa), Angela Wang (Angela), Aurèle Barrière (Aurèle), Boshen Chen (Boshen), Cam Tenny (Cam), Dave Poole (Dave), Franziska Hinkelmann (F. Hinkelmann), Henry Zhu (Henry), Ilias Tsangaris (Ilias), Jenna Zeigen (Jenna), Jessica Sachs (Jess), Kristen Hewell Garrett (Kristen), Michael Z Goddard (Z Goddard), Sebastian McKenzie (Sebastian), Sigrid Huemer (Sigrid), Stephen Murphy (Stephen M), Steven Salat (Steven), Titus Wormer (Titus), and Yorkie Liu (Yorkie)
- Handles, aliases, or pseudonyms: Aaron Davis (kumavis), Guanyu Liu (liuguanyu), Gus Caplan (snek), Isaac Schlueter (isaacs), Kai Gong (kai.gongk), Liu ZiJian (Lxxyx), Luna Pfeiffer (Shark), Qiang Tu (Yuri), Ryuichi Hayashida (Linda_pp), Shi Jiang Yu (yusj), Song Yang Pu (pusongyang), Takuya Kawasaki (Kawa), Weiwen Liang (exoticknight), Weixuan Lin (Linbudu), Yuanyan Cao (Y2), Yulia Startsev (yulia), and Zhi Jie Li (zeldajay)
- Styling or materially different forms: Ashley Williams (ashley williams), Bradford Smith (Bradford C. Smith), Corey Frang (Mx Corey Frang), Hubert Manilla (Hubert Boma Manilla), István Sebestyén (Istvan SEBESTYEN), Josh Goldberg (Josh Goldberg ✨), Mary Marchini (mary marchini), Samina Husain (SaminaHusain), and Subo Zheng (Super Zheng)
Without asking every delegate their individual preference, it's impossible to know for sure which way to resolve them, but I feel for most cases it was pretty clear. Of course, delegates are free to PR the structured data to change it, just as they were free to PR delegates.txt before. Given that most delegates are no longer active and that most of the decisions seemed pretty straightforward to me, I didn't feel it was necessary or practical to reach out for clarification.

Fair enough! Appreciate all the thought you've put into this. Sorry to be a backseat driver. 😅

similarly, i think this one should probably stay in given + surname order?

This is how they've written their name on their GitHub profile. Without consulting them, I don't think it'd be appropriate to write their name any way other than the 2 samples we have of them writing their own name: exactly as listed on their GitHub profile or exactly as they've previously added to delegates.txt. If you have another source (such as social media, publications, personal website, etc.) showing them referring to themselves in that way, I think it would be fine. Same goes for all of your other comments.

it might be confusing to have two parenthesized character sequences?

it might be better to stick with the roman character versions here (or have both)?

@naugtur I know that you go in some places by one name and in others by the other; which name should be used here?

(i believe we went with the github profile name when there were conflicts, so updating that might be the simplest way to change it)

I think this should have gotten broader committee awareness and feedback before merging. |

Zbigniew is what's in my government issued ID. Zbyszek is casual. I tend to
use the latter unless in formal situations. Assumed this was formal.
I'm fine with both.
