Bug Description

This may sound like nitpicking, but the maintainer field common error contains the following text:

"The Maintainer field is invalid. It has to contain an @ubuntu.com address (usually the Ubuntu Developer Team's). The packager can leave his/her name as XSBC-Original-Maintainer."

This is unnecessarily restrictive wording, as it presumes the gender binary and leaves out people who use pronouns other than "he" or "she". I suggest using a gender-neutral pronoun in this case, such as "they".
