You can have all the whishes you want, but you are not in any position to request that.

If you were a contributor whose name is being transliterated, you could kindly ask for translators not to transliterate your name, that would be a reasonable request, but even then the translators would be well on their right to ignore your request, because you can't know what's the proper way of doing things in all the locales in the world, but as far as I can see you are not in such situation (please excuse me if I'm wrong and your name is part of the credits of some of our software).

We have been doing this for more than 20 years, we're not going to change our ways of working just because someone that just joined the mailing list to send this message thinks it's a bad idea.

You don't have a KDE developer account, and if you get it, be sure to not abuse it to commit changes like this.

Not going to happen.
