I was also surprised why this is the case, so I had a look at
`etc/teammetrics/names.list' and found that we had a typo: "gergor"
instead of "gregor". So fixing that:

    commit 70d05b

    -Gregor Herrmann : gregoa, gregoa-guest, gergor herrmann
    +Gregor Herrmann : gregoa, gregoa-guest, gregor herrmann

(I must admit, on the first glance, I overlooked this)

We don't have much of this with many other names, and for the cases that
this issue does exist, we are handling it explicitly. Example:

    Christian Perrier : bubulle, Christian PERRIER
    Mathieu Parent    : mparent-guest, Mathieu PARENT, sathieu

Now in the case someone wants his/her name in their own "preferred
case", we can do so on a case-by-case basis instead — like we are doing
now.

So pkg-perl looks like:

               name           | count 
    --------------------------+-------
     Damyan Ivanov            |   670
     Gregor Herrmann          |   549
     Martín Ferrari           |   273
     Salvatore Bonaccorso     |   137
