I'm not sure if this a bug in package.el proper or rather an ELPA
archive bug:
When invoking `M-x describe-package annotate` to describe the `annotate`
package from https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/annotate.html the function
errors out with
describe-package-1: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, ("Bastian
Bechtold" . "bastibe.dev@mailbox.org")
and its backtrace is basically
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p
("Bastian Bechtold" . "bastibe.dev@mailbox.org"))
package--print-email-button((("Bastian Bechtold" .
"bastibe.dev@mailbox.org") ("cage" . "cage-dev@twistfold.it")))
describe-package-1(annotate)
#f(compiled-function () #<bytecode -0xc22abc67090fa64>)()
help--window-setup("*Help*" #f(compiled-function () #<bytecode
-0xc22abc67090fa64>))
describe-package(annotate)
pointing to the function `package--print-email-button` specifically not
being able to deal with the maintainer value
In fact, the 'annotate' meta-data entry in
`~/.emacs.d/elpa/archives/nongnu/archive-contents` looks like
(annotate .
[(2 2 1)
nil "annotate files without changing them" tar
((:url . "https://github.com/bastibe/annotate.el")
(:maintainer
("Bastian Bechtold" . "bastibe.dev@mailbox.org")
("cage" . "cage-dev@twistfold.it"))
(:commit . "a388c39231207f6234ca1af547dbd29995ee476f"))])
as far as I could see, most package entries have rather a maintainer
value such as
(:maintainer "Jordon Biondo" . "jordonbiondo@gmail.com")
or sometimes without an email addr, such as
(:maintainer "Benjamin Beckwith")
and in some cases even something weird like
(:maintainer "Andrea Orru <andreaorru1991@gmail.com>, Andrew Kelley" .
"superjoe30@gmail.com")
which is surely not intended to be that way...
