Anyway, with the 2,200 missing RePEc authors I decided at that point that the result was good enough, and created the not-matched entries. Less than a handful showed up later on as duplicates at some point (e.g., as automatically matched against GND). Of course, some will still linger hidden. But it is very easy to merge items in Wikidata, so I consider that as a much minor problem than it would be in library systems, where it is administrative and technically much more difficult to get rid of duplicates.
I agree, this is a sensible process. When the initial matching is done, the data and the work of further polishing needs to move to the wiki.
