Description Ralph Seichter 2019-12-23 21:08:11 UTC

I'd like to suggest stating more clearly in [1] that while pkgmetadata/maintainer has a 'type' attribute, upstream/maintainer does not allow that attribute. The information is given implicitly, but I think being explicit would be better. Thanks.

Reproducible: Always
