Bug#965335: Lintian: missing complaining of Lintian



Hello Felix,

thanks for picking it up.

I had the problem with

<pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org

instead of

<pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>

After uploading something finds the problem and claims that "bad
maintainer address".
.
I want to have this message back (bad maintainer address) so I know what
I have to fix for a proper upload.

I guess for the new queue there is a test for proper maintainer addresses.

I hope we can minimize the difference in checking a package.

Kind regards

Mechtilde
