        Well,mostly, you do not need to write people's names, and you could<br>
always easily cut and paste them.<br>
So it could stop at them names.<br>
<br>
        To be noted that UTF-8 email addresses are valid, per the standard, so<br>
we can't really forbid UTF-8 in EMAIL field, so .info files should be UTF-8<br>
valid, hence MAINTAINER field could also have UTF-8.<br>
<br>
        That being said, as a rule, everything should always work with UTF-8.<br>
