The karma.pl script blindly follows ... where the maintainer itself leads.
It just picks the info off the Debian BTS and package db (I've forgotten the
details as I wrote this a long time ago). See the code itself -- Kitame must
have used different values in his debian/control fields.
Proper "normalization" for maintainers would be nice, but it essentially
requires a human to edit a master database and keep it up to date. An
unrealistic goal if you ask me.
