Well, I don't think leaving it alone is really nice. Three of the
four warnings seem to come from a single entry:

Şahap Aşçı

That's copied-and-pasted from our website, where it seems to render
fine, but in the PDF file what I see is

#ahap A#ç#

The fourth warning comes from

Adam Biela#ski

As a short-term fix, maybe the thing to do is deaccent those two names.

BTW, there is also a fifth complaint

WARNING: Glyph "?" (0x3c0, pi) not available in font "Times-Roman".

which is evidently coming from the description of the pi() function.
So that proves that entity-ification doesn't help :-(
