Hm, that's very strange. There's several cases where we're generating a
page under /maintainer/ but not under /full/, but looking at the source,
this should really be impossible. They're both done in the same function,
one right after the other.
I must be missing something. I'll take a closer look once the current
full archive run completes and see if it still has this problem, and if
so, add some debugging code to try to get to the bottom of it.
Thank you for the report!
