I'm a bit baffled by this, to be honest.

Perhaps we can merge these files together, and have each developer
entity consist of two lines, one for name only, one for name + email?

Something like this, maybe?

 <!ENTITY a.gjb.name "Glen Barber">
 <!ENTITY a.gjb.email "&a.gjb.name <email>gjb@FreeBSD.org</email>">

This would allow us to keep the current multi-format entries, and
consolidate them into one file.

Thoughts?

Glen

PS:  That idea is conceptual, I haven't actually tried this change.
