This is a false positive. The Author: field in your source package has
the correct text (it says ORCID: <...>), but R-4.4.3 doesn't realise
that because it predates the change to how the Author: field is
formatted.

R-4.4.x:
person("Dan", "Kelley", comment = c(ORCID =
"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7808-5911";))
# [1] "Dan Kelley (<https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7808-5911>)"

R-4.5.x:
person("Dan", "Kelley", comment = c(ORCID =
"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7808-5911";))
# [1] "Dan Kelley (ORCID: <https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7808-5911>)"
