Again stripping this to one point:

Having two authors named John Smith isn't an ideal situation, but I'm

There are two RFC authors called Bing Liu, both employed by Huawei.
(Liu is the family name, Bing is the personal name.) They have the same
street address, too, because they work at the same site. They are
distinguished by their email addresses (which are distinguished by
their adopted Latin personal names). See [RFC8990, RFC9354].
One gotcha: there is no way to tell from the RFC index that these
are two different authors. If you used the index to count the number
of RFCs by B. Liu, you would get a misleading answer. Should the RPC
do something about that? (This is not an RSWG policy question.)
The IETF datatracker also has two separate profiles for them,
distinguished by their email addresses.
Unfortunately I don't have their names in Chinese characters, but
I expect they are identical.
