When names without emails or emails without names are found, it checks to see if that name/email was used with a proper pairing elsewhere. From there I can build up correction lists to cover typos and misspellings.

The program goes through the pg-hackers mbox files from 2024 up through last month - so the email being in this list is probably a sign that either the email address was erroneous, or the sender does not want their name associated. There are 288 of these, but I assume a lot of them are duplicates.

Hi Corey,

Thanks for working on that.

For List 1, I see that some Chinese names are spelled in Chinese Pinyin. I know some of these people, so I think their preferred names can remain the same. For example, Bihua Wang’s preferred name can also be Bihua Wang.

I understand that it may be difficult for you to identify all the Chinese Pinyin names, so here they are. Some names were not in first-name-last-name order, so I corrected them, for example, "Hu Xunqi -> Xunqi Hu." There were also a few duplicates, which I marked as well.
```
Bihua Wang
Chengpeng Yan
Chi Zhang
Chong Peng
Chuanwen Hu
Dapeng Wang
Dewei Dai
Feilong Meng
Feng Wu
GaoZengqi -> Zengqi Gao
Haiyang Li
Haowu Ge
Haoyan Wang
Hu Xunqi -> Xunqi Hu
Jihe Wang
Jinbinge -> Bing’e Jin
Jinhui Lai
Lu Feng
Meng Zhang
Ning Sun
Ning Wu
Qifan Liu
Runyuan He
Shengbin Zhao
Shixin Wang
Tan Yang -> Yang Tan
Tenglong Gu
Tianchen Zhang
Tiancheng Ge
Tingchuan Sun
Wang Peng -> Peng Wang
Wang Yuelin -> Yuelin Wang
Xiangyu Liang
Xiaopeng Wang
Xingbin She
Xueyu Gao
Yang Yuanzhuo -> Yuanzhou Yang
Yi Ding
Yilin Zhang
Yingying Chen
Yu Kunpeng -> Kunpeng Yi
Yu Wang
Yuan Li
Yuan Li(carol) : dup to Yuan Li
Yuanchao Zhang
Yuchen Li
Yuefei Shi
Yuelin Wang
Zepeng Zhang
Zhang Hu
Zheng Tao
Zhenwei Shang
Zhibai Song
Zhiyuan Su
Zizhen Qiao
ZizhuanLiu X-MAN - Zizhuan Liu
albert tan : dup to Tan Yang
ji xu -> Ji Xu
jie wang -> Jie Wang
kelan -> Ke Lan
liu xiaohui -> Xiaohui Liu
liujinyang -> Jinyang Liu
myzhen -> Mingyang Zhen
shiyu qin -> Shiyu Qin
songjinzhou -> Songjin Zhou
tianbing -> Bing Tian
zengman -> Man Zeng
zhanglihui -> Lihui Zhang
zhangqiang -> Qing Zhang
zhibin wang -> Zhibin Wang
zourenli -> Renli Zou
彭冲 : dup to Chong Peng
王跃林 : dup to Yuelin Wang
```

For List 3, I see that my name appears twice:
```
Chao Li Chao Li
Chao Li Chao Li (Evan)
```

Please just use “Chao Li” as my preferred name, as it is also my legal name on my passport.

Best regards,
