[NCSG-EC] CiviCRM / applications: duplicate handling

Hi all,

It appears the CiviCRM approval form doesn't handle duplicates
gracefully, and what's more it sometimes generates lots of
them by itself - in particular, if someone applies twice they
may show up to six time on the list. :-|

There were several instances with multiple identical applications;
hopefully all of these have now been cleared, but some may remain.

In one case there're two conflicting applications, one including NCUC
and the other (later one) not. In this case we probably should ask for
clarification. (You can identify them by the fact that they appear
lots of times there. I won't post personal information here,
as this list is publicly archived.)

In another case an organization is there twice with somewhat different
information (as "ISOC Chapter" and as "Internet Society Chapter");
again, more information should be sought.

Incidentally, it would be very useful if there was more data of
organizations in the "view details" -form, in particular the
representative(s) and their emails. Now it apparently takes
admin rights to dig that info up.
