Where the font came from, and when

Checkout of latest commit (https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/commit/4d7396a4fae475975b367e225f2e8f49292d8837)

Steps to reproduce

fc-scan ./unhinted/slim-variable-ttf/NotoSansKannada-VF.ttf ./unhinted/slim-variable-ttf/NotoSansKannadaUI-VF.ttf ./hinted/ttf/NotoSansKannadaUI/NotoSansKannadaUI-Regular.ttf and similarly for the other fonts

Observed results

The Kannada UI VF has the same font family name "Noto Sans Kannada" as the main VF. This differs from the corresponding TTF/OTF name "Noto Sans Kannada UI"

Expected results

The UI VF should be a replacement for the UI TTF's/OTF's and have "UI" in the name.
