[Slackbuilds-users] MAINTAINER and EMAIL for orphaned builds

Starting next week... all orphaned builds will have consistent
name/email in the .info files:

MAINTAINER="orphaned - no maintainer"
EMAIL="NOEMAIL"

If you're orphaning a build, *please* use *exactly* the same format,
for consistency's sake.

Please *don't* use EMAIL="nobody at nowhere.com" or use different
spacing or punctuation in MAINTAINER. Someone pointed out to me that
nowhere.com is a valid domain, owned by google:

$ host -t mx nowhere.com
nowhere.com mail is handled by 1 smtp.google.com.

Cute, huh?
