Here is my reasoning regarding the rolfh account.  There are just two 
commits:

r2512 | rolfh | 1992-10-18 17:50:52 -0700 (Sun, 18 Oct 1992) | 2 lines
r2376 | rolfh | 1992-10-08 18:48:26 -0700 (Thu, 08 Oct 1992) | 2 lines

In the gcc2 repository, these correspond to r1.73 and r1.65 of 
Makefile.in,v.  The relevant ChangeLog.6 entries are:

Sun Oct 18 17:52:05 1992  Arne H. Juul  (arnej@lise.unit.no)

        * Makefile.in (libobjc.a): Remove libobjc.a in current directory
        before attempting to hardlink it or make will fail in later stages.
        (sublibobcj.a): Don't use $(MAKEFLAGS) for objc subdir stuff.

Thu Oct  8 18:45:00 1992  Arne H. Juul  (arnej@lise.unit.no)

        * Makefile.in (install-common-headers): added missing 'then'

So rolfh corresponds to Arne H. Juul as author, whoever the committer 
might have been, and so that seems to be the best mapping for that 
username.
