Check usernames/names in stages.yml against actual team members data

Why is this change being made?

This is a follow-up to !139781 (comment 2560376853).

This merge request updates team member assignments across GitLab's organizational structure. The main changes include:

The code that checks if team member names are valid was enhanced to be more accurate. Instead of just checking if names follow the right format (letters, numbers, etc.), it now verifies that the person actually exists in GitLab's team database. This prevents typos and ensures all listed team members are real people who work at the company.

The improved validation system will help maintain data accuracy as the team continues to evolve.
