according to namcap, this is a valid maintainer comment:
# Maintainer foo <email@example.com

and this is not:
# maintainer foo <email@example.com

if this is noted in the wiki, i've somehow missed it all this time! it should be clearly noted that case is important for this comment to be valid, otherwise it shouldn't be case-sensitive.
This task depends upon

Is this actually an issue with a package?
No idea what you are referring.

for example, with this PKGBUILD:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vilearn/

namcap reports this:
PKGBUILD (vilearn) W: Missing Maintainer tag

Well, that is a PKGBUILD file from AUR - please report in comments for that package.
This bug tracker is for packages from official repositories only.

i think i've been misunderstood. what i am trying to do is open a feature request for namcap, but i hadn't found the proper procedure for doing that before making this task. should i try opening a new feature request that is less confusingly worded?

what i am asking for is either:
1. lowercase `# maintainer` be made valid
or 2. for namcap to warn that the maintainer tag is invalid, instead of saying `W: Missing Maintainer tag`

Ah, got it. Anyway, I am the wrong assignee... Just rebuilt the package last.
Reassigning...
