If multiple people are trying to go by the same name, that’s just going to confuse people. What purpose is this supposed to serve?

Part for fun, but definitely not a lie. Your question almost sounds offensive, as if people choose to have the same name?

These “names” used in credits are obviously aliases that people have chosen. People choosing identical or confusingly similar aliases has the potential to cause real problems when it comes to attribution. Consider how this could play out when it comes to licensing (e.g. some future relicensing effort, some third party attempting to obtain a license exemption, or license enforcement).
We had enough trouble with aliases when we trying to identify and contact rights holders when we migrated the project to Open Source/Free Software licenses, and that was without people going out of their way to make the situation confusing.

Right, so we have someone whose nickname is Berger and someone whose real name is Berger. And I just couldn't resist placing them together. You don't like the joke? Too bad.
About your licensing argument. Explain to me how Berger borrowing cartridges from Berger and then Berger dumping them, Berger sends the files to me. Then I update the driver, it's 100% my code. Which part of the source code is theirs?

I’m not just thinking about this specific case – it’s the principle. Allowing contributors to use identical or confusingly similar aliases will inevitably lead to issues in the future.

MAME source copyright holders: yes.
Hundreds of people that contributed dumps: I don't mind. It's like: imagine a popular indie videogame, thousands of people contributed some money towards development, dev is nice and puts them in the end game credits. Will he allow identical names? Of course.
