But Greg has a point. Corporations like to send us code with a list
as the maintainer and MODULE_AUTHOR set to corp's name. We deal with
humans, not legal entities.

I've been trying to get them to use "M: email" without the name,
but "L: list (private)" also works.

Either way I feel like we need _some_ way to tell humans from corporate
"please CC this address" entries.

> private makes no sense and likely these L: entries shouldn't exist.
