Bug#479536: qa.debian.org: incorrectly handles non-ascii characters in maintainer name

[Євгеній Мещеряков]

Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal

Maintainer name is displayed incorrectly when it containes non-ascii
characters (in comments that are displayed when placing mouse pointer
over version number of a pacage). This can be seen on my maintainer's
page (http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=eugen@...), for
latest versions of fntsample, kdrill and systemtap.

Relevant HTML is:

Actually, at fault here is the broken encoding of the projectb
instances on ftp-master and merkel (afaict even broken in a different
way). I'm now working around this by setting client_encoding = latin1
for the database.

The script will break even more badly when the database is fixed :)
