Yes, exactly my point. So I am confused, one /should/ add themselves to 
contributor.entities right away, or wait until their name is used more 
than once? (Well, if you count translations, I guess there is no such 
thing as "once"?)

(In my case, as a native of that horribly backwards country which 
bestowed on me the en_US language, I don't even pronounce my last name 
anywhere close to the "proper German", much less have any desire to 
spell it Wöhlke¹ :-), which it hasn't been for a few generations at least.)

(¹ Wow, that looks odd... ;-) )
