Comment (by gracinet):

 Sorry I haven't been really clear, I was suggesting that ''in case'' the
 identifier looks to be an email address (which the library can help us to
 check), it could be assumed to be unique.

 Any way, if this is only for display purposes, I agree there's not much
 point about guesswork, and a simple disambiguation system would at least
 solve the blocking. Buildmaster admins can then very well perform
 afterwards merging with whatever tool or decide not to care.

 The pattern you suggest above ```User Name (1) <user_name at example.com>'```
 means that the disambiguation part should anyway use the address parsing
 utilities.
