The list of acknowledgments for the PG17 release notes has been
committed. You can see it here:

https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=doc/src/sgml/release-17.sgml;h=08a479807ca2933668dede22e4e6f464b937ee45;hb=refs/heads/REL_17_STABLE#l3229

As usual, please check for problems such as wrong sorting, duplicate
names in different variants, or names in the wrong order etc.

I think Japanese names are in the right order except “Sutou Kouhei”.
I am 100% sure his given name is Kouhei.

Thanks!

Fixed. Thank you for checking.

I've done a small check of the list (search for first names in the
document), and found the following curiosities:

I see various cases where what seem to be names with Chinese origin are
styled differently between this list and the feature list. Specifically,
"Acknowledged", vs "Feature List":

"Mingli Zhang", vs "Zhang Mingli"
"Zhijie Hou", vs "Hou Zhijie" (cc-ed)
"Zongliang Quan", vs " Quan Zongliang"

I don't know if one order is preferred over the other, but it seems
inconsistent. Hou, do you have more info on this?

Next, I noticed some other inconsistent names:

"Hubert Lubaczewski", vs "Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski"
"Paul Jungwirth", vs "Paul A. Jungwirth"

Sidenote: Paul Amondson is Amonson, Paul D on this list, and is not a
duplicate entry for Paul A. Jungwirth as might be suspected based on
initials.

Kind regards,

Matthias van de Meent

The list of acknowledgments consistently uses given name followed by
family name. I suspect the release notes are not as rigid about that.

Next, I noticed some other inconsistent names:

"Hubert Lubaczewski", vs "Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski"
"Paul Jungwirth", vs "Paul A. Jungwirth"

In some cases like that, I default to using the name variant that was
used in past release notes, so it's consistent over time.
