Bug#514074: lintian seems to dislike commas and quotes in names
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.2
Severity: minor
Hello!
Commas seem to "confuse" the name-address parser:
hazelsct ("Adam C. Powell, IV") have some reports filed under the name
'"Adam C. Powell' (without email address) and 'IV"' (with his address):
http://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/hazelsct@debian.org.html
http://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/unsorted.html
This also triggers tags uploader-not-full-name and
uploader-address-missing in reports.
I know that a comma in a rfc822 field is something "fragile" but other
tools (eg. PTS) are working fine:
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=hazelsct%40debian.org
(trimming quotes from names should also move "Kamaraju Kusumanchi" down
in the maintainers reports list)
ciao
Riccardo
