Email addresses for package authors and maintainers

[Julien Bect]

Hello all,

For most (all ?) Octave-Forge packages, the "package_box_contents" 
container looks like this:

---------------------------------------------
<div class="package_box_contents">
<table>
<tr><td class="package_table">Package Version:</td><td>1.2.0</td></tr>
<tr><td class="package_table">Last Release 
Date:</td><td>2013-11-25</td></tr>
<tr><td class="package_table">Package Author:</td><td>various 
authors</td></tr>
<tr><td class="package_table">Package Maintainer:</td><td>Mike Miller 
<address@hidden></td></tr>
<tr><td class="package_table">License:</td><td><a href="COPYING.html 
<view-source:http://octave.sourceforge.net/communications/COPYING.html>">GPLv3+</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
---------------------------------------------

As you can see, the email address is included in the source but not 
displayed, because <...> is interpreted as an (incorrect) HTML tag.

There are several ways for fixing this:

a) Replace <...> by &lt;...&gt; to display the email address.

b) Remove the email address from "package_box_contents".

c) If there are mixed opinions about this, the generate_html package 
could also include an option for displaying the email addresses.

Given that the email address is not displayed currently, and that nobody 
seems to worry about that, I would choose b).
