I like this change because it brings clarity on authorship and makes
it easier to track changes by authors; author names that can be found
on the mailing list. Good. By the way, wouldn't it be possible to have
a preference for those who do not want to derive their initials from
their names? It does not matter much to me since I use my initials.
