Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.14
Severity: wishlist

Thanks to Ana (Cc-ed) I've discovered only today that for years I've
been uploading *.changes files in which Maintainer and Changed-By fields
where both set to me _erroneously_, in the sense that I was not the
Maintainer for those packages (either due to team maintenance or to NMU
activity).

The reason of the mistake, not terribly relevant, was a particular
setting in pbuilder/cowbuilder (the $DEBEMAIL variable) which, when set,
invokes dpkg-genchanges setting explicitly the maintainer, hence
overriding the package default.

That being easily fixable, I believe that lintian can easily shield
against this error pattern by checking whether there is a mismatch
between the Maintainer field in debian/control and the very same field
in the *.changes file being lintian-checked (if given, which is usually
the case).

Can you please consider adding such a test?

/me wonders how many people have set that variable, hence providing not
    terribly telling *.changes files
