Nice. And to be clear, by 'omitting the "Maintainer:" line', I meant
only WRT the `describe-package' results in Emacs and (hopefully) not the
web pages at http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/foo.html, etc.

Yes, automatically. But I think elpa-admin would still need a shim, at
least until such time as the Emacs running on the production instance is
upgraded to 30.1 (or 29.3, if such a thing ever materializes). Not sure
if it's Stefan or the GNU infra people who control this.

Thanks. I myself don't understand the whole picture either, only what's
readily apparent from observed behavior. I mean, I guess I can give it a
shot, but I'll mostly be flying blind.
