How about setting (allowing to set) this in ports?
MAINTAINER= Full Name <email@addr.ess>
Rationale:
- It's friendlier. People can contact a person rather than a
disembodied e-mail address.
- Sendmail etc will still handle ${MAINTAINER}, so there is no
immediate technical reason against it.
Some time ago the OpenBSD Project introduced full names for MAINTAINER
lines. I didn't think much of it at the time, but since then the
idea has grown on me.
