[infrastructure] Issue with Party, Party Group and mailman list

Hi Ean,

If you go to:

	http://opensourceforamerica.org/wg/press

You'll see that there are some names that don't show up (show only as  
a "," on an empty line).

The issue is:

- the people that are not showing up are actually user logins of party  
groups. For example, Amanda's e-mail is the user login for Linux  
Foundation.
- when the groovy code gets the e-mail from mailman, and try to match  
this to a party in ofbiz, it finds the party group, that has no  
"First, Last name".
- so, when printing on the page, nothing shows up.

My impression is that the PartyGroup is weird... The PG was supposed  
to be a list of people from that company. Why are they being listed as  
user logins, and not as a relationship between person and party group?  
You can clearly see this on the PG Linux Foundation #11183[1], that  
has two user logins.

Anyway, I could remove the empty names from the page, but that is not  
the correct solution... I think we need first to define what is the  
relationship between PG and persons to fix this.

Ideas?
Bruno.
