I think there is code deriving version numbers from those strings somewhere, so you need to adapt this code to the new format or to the removal of the strings. > Another thing is that there are still a few committers I couldn't > identify.

Don't know about arafune, kurt, nabe, and uid*. Probably conversion artifacts, some of them. In general, those single-identifier email addresses sound like the conversion lost some info from the name. You should have found most of the above on fencepost.gnu.org in the /home/g/gnuorg/copyright.list file. That's where I looked. As a maintainer, you should have an account on that system.
