Are you sure?
Policy 5.6.2 states:

---8<---
The package maintainer's name and email address. The name should come first,
then the email address inside angle brackets <> (in RFC822 format).

(...fuss about incorrect formatting...)
--->8---

It's not clear that the Maintainer should be only one.

For example, see [1].

The Maintainers are two (Debian-Med Team and Andreas Tille), but lintian didn't
complain about this either ([2] and [3]).


Kindly,
David
