I think this isn't quite right:
- package.el does not require any package headers in general, whereas we
  always require them, even for multi-file packages (because we always
  auto-generate the *-pkg.el file).
- AFAIK package.el does not require (or even pay attention to)
  a "Maintainer:" header, but we do.

I'll change that back.
BTW, since (lm-maintainer) uses the author as a fallback, am I correct
to assume that Elpa does the same?
