Bug#406731: lintian: please consider removing maintainer-not-full-name check
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.27
Severity: wishlist
The only packages that generate this warning are packages by a DD who
has changed his name by deed poll to just one word: wookey. It seems
unfair to have a warning that only he has to override. :-)
I came across this when checking my own package that Wookey will
co-maintain: emdebian-tools, currently at ITP stage. I'd rather not have
to use a lintian override in perpetuity.
