Ugh. Dmitry, please be more careful with author names.

Apparently you aren't in a proper utf-8 locale, and you messed up the
name in the git repository. So yoiu apparently tried to take KT Liao's
Chinese name: 廖崇榮, but did so in some wrong locale, and it ended up
being just '???' in the git repo.

And I only noticed when I did my shortlog for doing my 4.18-rc3 release notes.

I don't know what locale or tools you have, but please try to make
sure everything is utf-8 aware so that these kinds of name corruptions
don't happen..
