Oh, but it does look invalid. :) Notice that the trailing maintainer
line starts at the same column as the header line, but the trailer must
be indented by one space. Also the «two spaces» are then followed by
two explicit spaces, which seems confusing.
I guess Anatoli proposed to make the whitespace requirements explicit
to avoid this kind of subtle problems in the future.
