MAINTAINER/OWNER and real email addresses

["D'Arcy J.M. Cain" <darcy%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

I would like to make the following change to the docs.  I see some
MAINTAINER addresses that are set as variables.  This seems wrong to
me.  This field is generally there for humans and should be readable by
humans without having to follow and evaluate a variable.  See
shells/zsh for an example.
