Bug#312222: [jennifer] Don't fall over on broken syntax in .changes:Maintainer

[Jeroen van Wolffelaar <jeroen@wolffelaar.nl>]

Package: dak
Tags: upstream patch

Hi,

This patch should fix jennifer falling over on broken syntax in .changes
files, and instead just reject.

Changelog: (jennifer) Add missing exception handling for maintainer
field parsing

Note: I couldn't test this on the offending file because I can't read
anything but the .changes.
