I find only 18 names in people.names containing non-ASCII letters, so /org/www.debian.org/cron/people_scripts/people.pl could contain some extra elsif in its canonical_names function to replace non-ASCII letters by HTML entities. Most names seem to be ISO-8859-1 encoded. When done, this script could also skip maintainers with non-ASCII letters which are not processed in order to prevent future trouble. Denis
