That's okay, because it's not our responsiblity :P Sorta kidding there. But
I think when they can see their skin/plugin is going up into this sort of
system then they may be more aware of the importance of a distinctive title,
rather than when they just post in a forum. And we can always send authors a
message, or leave comments (of course there'll be a commenting system ;)
letting them know that a more 'branded' name might be more suitable, and, if
they're stuck, make some suggestions :)
