Subject: [PATCH] Tweaked unidecode_name() to not produce single-letter ascii
surnames from non-ascii codepoints. The unidecode transliteration is in any
case somewhat arbitrary, and in most cases a real person will tweak the ascii
name of his account. When running tests, however, this tweak avoids some
false test failures. And no, it's not simple to fix the draft
author-extraction heuristics to deal well with single-letter surnames. -
