And newer clients > will be taught to always first check `:maintainers' (plural). I'd rather have only one of the two (either `:maintainer` or `:maintainers`) but not both at the same time. The downside for those few multi-maintainer packages is fairly small (its only impact is that `describe-package` will not show the maintainers, which is what we've had for many years). > Please let me know if anything is required from ERC to make this a > reality. And, of course, I very much appreciate your taking the time. Nothing specific on ERC's side, no. But patches for `elpa-admin.el` and for Emacs would be welcome (tho extra time would be welcome as well :-) Stefan
