I believe we've standardized on given-name-first in these lists.
(There was some discussion around that when the first such lists
were made, see [1].) People from Far Eastern cultures often write
family name first in signatures, so it can be hard to tell whether
it ought to be switched or not.
I am not sure which of your changes are correct per this rule.
In the v13 acknowledgements list, I see
<member>Haiying Tang</member>
<member>Li Japin</member>
<member>Shenhao Wang</member>
It could be that that entry for Li is backward, though.
