Concretely, what I'd suggest is: convert ISO-8859-1 entries in the
checked-in list to UTF-8, removing anything that thereby becomes a
duplicate or unnecessary; handle anything whose encoding isn't simply
ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 via a hardcoded entry in bugdb.py using hex escapes
like the existing such entries there. Once the checked-in list is pure
UTF-8 it's easier for people to review and edit. Where the issue is only
presence of ISO-8859 NBSP, or "" or () around the names, remove that in
the checked-in list and again remove duplicates. That way the list can be
limited to non-encoding variations.
