Yes, this is the current status which makes your code complex because
you need to distinguish between the likes and the authors.  My
suggestion was to always use (i)like which finally makes your code
easier because you might have several names for one person one where you
are using "author =" and other were you need to use "author ilike".  If
you would always use ilike you can just simplify your code and that is
what I wanted to suggest.

I will try another ping and if this fails I might start an open
discussion with the intended result to publish the mboxes for everybody
which perhaps makes more hosts fit for storing the data (for instance
alioth).
