Both in search and the credits wizard, developer names that are entered without diacretics are not found. This is especially worrisome for the credits section where inexperienced contributors will make lots of new developers where that is not needed. We used to have a mapping system for diacretics on the old site (e.g. é > e). Could that be implemented again?

Just checking if there's been any progress with this. I'm adding a game where a lot of the names would have accents and I'm not getting any matches for them on the Disambiguation step. eg. Roman Mudry won't give me a result for Roman Múdry.
Edit: Though results aren't consistent. Some names without accents will result in the correct match even if the main name has an accent and there aren't any AKAs on file.
