When applying patches from bugzilla or wherever,

Yes, it is a good idea.
It would only require that we all used the correct names of other
contributors - preferably real names. It also requires a UTF8 console in
order to also non-english characters were correctly. For example, Slávek and
Slavek are for statistics something different. Not to mention the fact that
it could be used 'á' character from ISO 8859-1 and that is also different
than 'á' from UTF8. And statistics will consider it as three different
contributors.
By the way, although the page with list of patches in the header correctly
contains information about UTF-8 encoding in the HTTP header is still
ISO-8859-1 and Konqueror because it displays incorrectly - Slávek :)
