    Changelog: internal

commit 839df8f9226bac8455ee23014c179c17d812ae50
Author: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>

    scripts: Do not fail on empty Maintainer field from parsed changelog
    
    While this is invalid syntax (according to the documentation), we have
    accepted these kinds of entries up to now, and this was an unintentional
    change. Modify the code to handle them for now, while there's discussion
    on how to improve the notion of unfinalized changelog entries.
    
    Fixes: commit 37cf54ce95bf274278b2eeb47a49a4b3b3840612
    Closes: #1130119
