The maintainer_utils.py script now sorts user data using multiple keys: surname (sn), full name (cn), account, and forge ID. This ensures a stable and predictable order for user entries in the maintainer list. The script also verifies this sort order during data validation, improving the reliability and maintainability of the maintainer information.
