Lintian uses the standard Perl module Email::Address::XS [1] to parse
all address fields. (There are others, but this was most capable in
parsing Unicode "phrases".) The module states that it "parses input
string[s] sequentially according to RFC 5322 grammar." In the given
package, the last two uploaders are simply discarded:
$ bin/lintian -T mail-contact -T trimmed-field --no-tag-display-limit
/mirror/debian/pool/main/y/yubico-piv-tool/yubico-piv-tool_2.1.1-2.dsc

[some output omitted]
Perhaps the RFC 5322 grammar is too lenient with respect to errors,
and focuses instead on sending to at least some recipients.
Kind regards,
