Subject: 29.1.90; describe-package errors if a package specifies multiple
 maintainers
Date: Sat, 06 Jan 2024 15:48:41 +0100

When a package specifies multiple maintainers in its `Maintainer:`
header field, the `describe-package' command throws an error. As an
example, execute `describe-package' on the `marginalia' package from GNU
ELPA. I get the following error message:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p ("Omar Antolín Camarena" . "omar <at> matem.unam.mx"))

Thanks.  It should hopefully be fixed in `master` now.
