Ok, I have pushed a commit with these changes.  Thank for confirming the
fix, I'll be closing this report then.

The thing I am confused about is that package.el ought to be autoloaded
itself, or am I mistaken in that assumption?

1. emacs -Q
2. M-x list-packages
3. Move point to over some package, e.g. Magit
4. M-x package-report-bug
5. See error:

package-maintainers: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, ("Jonas Bernoulli" . "jonas <at> bernoul.li")

On another note, seems package-report-bug could also benefit from an
autoload cookie, no?


Thanks!
