Thanks for the patch (actually, it's not a patch), but I don't see the
point of any of these changes. Could you provide some motivation?

Err, yes I am.

Glenn, please commit your file to the emacs-lisp folder.

The defconst values used on the authors.el file are:
authors-aliases: All revisions sort by first name. Your file sorts by last name.
authors-fixed-case: All revisions sort by first name. Your file sorts
by last name.

I think the existing sorting (mainly by first name) is fine for
authors.el, so I won't be applying this change.

(I think you might be mixing up English pronouns a little.
Every place you write "your" above, I think you mean "my".)

OK, I added some entries.

Please try and send patches in future, rather than edited versions of
the entire file.

The current value for the defconst value (authors-many-files) 20.

Please increase the defconst value of authors-many-files to 30.
