The problem is that some manufacturers use lens ids in the EXIF and not 
strings. So you need a database which maps the id (integer) to a human 
readable string. Looks like Sigma is using the same id as canon for that lens 
...

The mappin is coming from libexiv2 which darktable uses. So your bug report 
should go to the exiv2 project :-)

However, you can setup your own mappings:

man exiv2 -> CONFIGURATION FILE
