Maybe Policy should also refer to either `mailbox` or `name-addr` for
the Maintainer field (`name-addr` requires angle brackets `<>`) and
either `mailbox-list`, `address-list`, or even `group-list` (would also
allow groups) for Uploaders.
`mailbox` allows plain address (without angle brackets `<>`); the
display-name is optional in `name-addr` as well, so that might be a
small change, but one could require it to be non-empty.
That is a small change for Uploaders as it would allow bare addresses.
Currently Uploaders would be something like
name-addr-list = name-addr *("," name-addr)
which doesn't exist in RFC 5322.
Personally I would probably just make Maintainer a `name-addr` and
Uploaders either `mailbox-list` (most restrictive) or `group-list`
(most permissive). Debian-specific constructs should probably be
avoided.
