Description

Hypothesis: if an author ID has an ORCID-derived suffix, and the person with that ID has no name string overlap with a legacy-verified author with the same name slug, then they should probably be merged.

Such a case was discovered in #7379, where the OpenReview preferred name associated with the ingested ORCID was not one of the names previously known to the Anthology.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #7379, the example motivating this work, then trace where author IDs, name slugs, ORCID-derived suffixes, and verification status are represented. Done means a script reliably reports likely legacy-verified and ORCID-verified duplicate authors for maintainer review, with the reported candidates matching the stated hypothesis.
