We use the Perl module Email::Address::XS to parse the contact
information in package control files. Overall, we found the module
reliable (especially with respect to UTF-8, which can cause a lot of
problems).

You are right that it does not complain about the missing closing
bracket when the information is otherwise parsed correctly. I briefly
looked at the relevant RFC but did not arrive at a conclusion.

For now, I added a test case for that situation:

    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/8ea3d161006d3325d81d6205b15186637a2a63a9

Please share any documentation about valid and invalid email
addresses, if you have it. Thanks!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner

Hello Felix,

thanks for picking it up.

I had the problem with

<[email protected]

instead of

<[email protected]>

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
