Heh, but how lazy we list idlers are, nobody else helped edit. So, to 
break down the todos, can you do the following:
1) torture Nikerabbit and purodha until they emit a conclusion on 
Ripoarisch vs. Kölsch and sámegiella vs. davvisámegiella;
2) submit a patch to drop the MediaWiki names which differ from CLDR 
only in casing (AFAICS: Esperanto, Ирон, shqip, SiSwati, Кыргызча);
3) file a bug in MediaWiki for the locale(s) which disagree with CLDR on 
main script, i.e. shi Tašlḥiyt/ⵜⴰⵛⵍⵃⵉⵜ vs. ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵜ (we already have 
shi-latn);
4) where names differ "only" in diacritics, file a bug against the 
project that has less I guess :), i.e. Qafar, Gikuyu;
5) where either has less specifications (probably different cases or 
"language X" vs. "X" differences), no idea;
6) ignore the stylistical differences (the two zh-* variants);
7) ignore the variants undefined in CLDR (de-ch, en-gb, kk-cyrl, 
shi-latn, sr-ec, tg-cyrl);
7) file a bug in MediaWiki for all the others?
