Remember that some do this legitimately.  If the herd is, for example,
"portage" but the email/bugzilla address is dev-portage@gentoo.org then
I think it is a good idea to leave the maintainer tag alone.  Remember
that this is an example and isn't what is actually in the tree.  I just
used it as a simple example.  The point is that in cases where the herd
name doesn't equal the email address used for that herd, the maintainer
tag should probably be filled in with the proper email address.
