Abbreviation of middle names within the credits is inconsistent

The bug

Within the credits, middle names can be abbreviated with or without a period at the end. Most names are abbreviated without periods, though, so I assume that is the intended style.

Expected result

All abbreviated middle names would follow a style, either with or without a period.

Cases

Here's a list of all cases of middle names being abbreviated with a period.

Still present in 1.20.1.

Still exists in 24w40a, though I wonder if it might be preferences by these individuals, but seeing the issue MC-276901, I start to believe that this is indeed an consistency issue.
