Subject: bug#68288: 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:
