FWIW it seems likely to me that the ObjC files in question were first
developed outside the GCC tree, on a system where his username was
dennisg, and then the ,v files from that development moved into the GCC
tree, at which point he both started committing from a different system
where he had the dglattin username, and started writing ChangeLog entries.
I didn't e.g. check dates for when ObjC was released with GCC, but such a
move of ,v files from one system to another would explain the different
usernames.
