This is correct UTF8 coded line

This is a patch to a latin1 coded file. When you e.g. save this mail and
look through it with 'cat <file> | less' you may see 'Andreas
Bie<DF>mann <andreas.devel at gmail.com>'.
When you then look for latin1 coding table you may see <DF> is 'ß'. So
this is correct here. Some other files in the patch are still coded in
utf-8 (as the mail is), therefore your MUA represents the stuff correct
to you.
The file MAINTAINERS is in latin1 coding cause a lot of/some other
contributors also have non-ASCII characters in their names. A short test
will show this to you:

open MAINTAINERS in vim; :set fileencoding=utf8; save; git diff

No, everyone with correct configured MUA should see this

Yes, the file MAINTAINERS is in latin1 while the mail and some other
files touched are in utf-8.

I don't know. But my surname is Bießmann and _not_ Biessmann.

Shouldn't we change the coding for all files to utf-8 instead?
