Let's do this. Let's standardize on:
http://lintian.debian.org/reports/maintainer/<email>.html
where <email> is formed by taking the e-mail address of the maintainer and
then replacing any character other than:
a-z A-Z 0-9 - _ . @ = +
with _. That's nicely conservative and consists of all of the unreserved
URI characters minus ~*'()! (sometimes shell metacharacters basically
never found in e-mail addresses) and with @=+ added from the reserved
characters since they're found in some addresses and will do no harm.
Then, we'll have a nicer structure to the URL without you having to wait
for a general reorganization or additional views, and I can add that stuff
later.
