Yay: Packager format wrong in package. PACKAGER should have the format 'Example Name <[email protected]>'

[thomai]

Affected Version

yay v9.4.0 - libalpm v12.0.0

Issue

During installation, the following warning shows up:
==> WARNING: PACKAGER should have the format 'Example Name <[email protected]>'

Steps to reproduce

1. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
2. cd yay
3. makepkg -si

I believe that's the new makepkg version's doing. It's related to your entry of PACKAGER in /etc/makepkg.conf

#-- Packager: name/email of the person or organization building packages
#PACKAGER="John Doe <[email protected]>"

As it happens I already made a patch for this yesterday. Don't expect to see it any time soon though.
