Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.1
Severity: normal
Though the check is correct, it should not be severity serious: the format
of the Changed-By (and the Maintainer field) is not mandated by a MUST,
only a SHOULD.

Policy has now been updated to be clear that this is a must, so the
severity in Lintian is correct. Closing the bug accordingly.
