As far as the script is concerned, it only processes _full_ committers -
so no problem there.
As far as the inelegance of data-duplication is concerned: I favour
creating a "Multiple categories:" section and moving markphip there.
However, I don't feel particularly strongly about this whilst it is just
a single case. If we end up with more partial committers of this kind,
I'd like to create that section.
Max.
