For the curios, here's what it looks like to deal with this in reposurgeon:
authors read <gcc.map
# Deal with the one ambiguous username.
(<1>..<14639> & /master/b) | /premerge-fsf-branch/b assign gcc2
<gcc2> authors read <<EOF
dje = Doug Evans <d...@gcc.gnu.org>
EOF
~<gcc2> authors read <<EOF
dje = David Edelsohn <d...@gcc.gnu.org>
EOF
