  • Add a blank line before the list, so ReST treats it as a list
  • Remove e-mail addresses
  • Just make it UTF-8 and wait if someone complains – I munged Miro's name in an effort to keep it ASCII, but forgot an ö and others...

The mails are stil lavailable in the linked Git repository.
Getting to them takes some effort, but that's a good thing – it should
deter spam harvesters.
The initial "A." makes ReStructured Text think it's a beginning of
an ordered list, with headings A., B., C., etc.
The result looks bad and is semantically wrong.

The standard way to escape is using a backslash, "A\.". This looks
bad when viewing the source.

Another way is to use a zero-width space. This is invisible when
rendered and in some editors, but more paranoid text-oriented tools
render it as "<U+200B>A." (less) or "<200b>A." (vim).
But, it's outside the name, which makes it a better solution than "A\."

@akkornel, if you would like to use your full first name instead, let me know.
