Bug#373218:
I'm not wholly adverse to this approach, but there's a lot of stuff that
links to lintian maintainer pages and I'm not particularly thrilled with
the idea of changing those URLs.
I also made the changes to the other pages I could find linking to the
lintian pages.
Why not just fix the qa code to match what lintian does? It's pretty
clearly currently different, which is probably the root of the problem.
because as far as I could see there have already been many changes on
the naming schema and there are dead links everywhere (try the links
to lintian.debian.org posted by Michal Čihař).
That's the definition of a corner case. We should still deal with it.
Just because you haven't seen someone use such characters in e-mail
addresses doesn't mean that they're not used, or that they may not be used
in the future.
I have a friend who uses the e-mail address ^*&#$@ennui.org, which is
entirely valid under RFC 2822.
All that can be handled if all the characters that should be replaced
are listed somewhere.
