Bug#647080: lintian: maintainer-address-malformed error occurs after "Old Changelog:" line



* Paul Elliott <pelliott@blackpatchpanel.com>, 2011-10-30, 04:01:
I had a pre- intent to package (ITP) maintainer, who did not want to publish his email address. His changelog entries looked like this: -- M. Pettau <http://www.saravali.de/contact.html> Tue, 28 Jun 2011 18:35:21 +0200 I did not want to loose the previous history, but I am not authorized to change the address.

Naturally, this resulted in maintainer-address-malformed errors, as is correct.
I added a line like this before the problematic entries:

Old Changelog:

But the maintainer-address-malformed errors did not go away.

I'm confused. maintainer-address-malformed is about Maintainer field, not about changelog.

AFAICS lintian doesn't currently check if e-mail addresses in the changelog are well-formed. Maybe it should. :)
