It seems the name of this contributor get corrupted when I checked in
the pom file after modifying unrelated lines. The XML header does not
specify any encoding here, so the default value should be UTF-8 but in
fact the original character was not UTF-8.
I could fix this either by simultaneaously ensuring UTF-8 encoding in
the XML header and using an UTF-8 character, or by using a XML entity
(ö in this case). Is there some widely adopted policy for pom files
and do they really support non-ASCII characters ?
I'm not aware of an Apache wide policy, either for POM files or
XML in general. Using an entity makes it harder for people which
want to have just a quick look at the file using a text editor;
most modern text editors allow to adjust the character encoding
quickly.
My recommendation: add an encoding to the XML declaration (even
if it is UTF-8) in order to make the encoding obvious for anyone
opening the fil in a text editor, and use the Unicode character
directly instead of a character reference.
