It says:
The package maintainer's name and email address. The name should come
first, then the email address inside angle brackets `<>' (in RFC822
format).
This can be interpreted as putting the name whatever way you like it, as
long as it's followed by the email address which is in RFC 822 format and
inside <>s. Personally I don't see any reason to prevent commas, as we
obviously don't need them to separate multiple addresses.
What we could do, on the other hand, is standardize on the name format,
which would allow us to scrap a bunch of exceptions from the script that
generates www.d.o/devel/people.
Determining acceptable charsets would be good, too. This goes for the LDAP
database entries as well -- most are in Latin 1, but a few are in Unicode,
and a bunch of them are ASCII transcriptions too.
For the record...
