What is the problem. His name contains an accented character. We have
various other UTF-8 accented symbols in the kernel tree. I don't think
its reasonable to suggest we go around mis-spelling contributors names
(which are after all for the purposes of credit and copyright), just
because a few people can't get with the real world and unicode.
