Using R 3.0.3 and Rtools 31, I now see a Note (reproduced on my R-forge checks)
of the form

* checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE
Maintainer: 'firstname A B lastname '

where A and B are middle initials.

I can change to a 'firstname lastname' form or 'INITS lastname'
form and that removes the above Note*, but I then get a Note warning of
maintainer change.

Is either Note going to get in the way of CRAN submission? (And if one of them
will, which one?)

S Ellison

*A minor aside: I couldn't find any documented reason for that, or indeed
any restriction on the format of a maintaner's name other than 'name
first email second in <>'; perhaps I missed something there?

I believe it's just a flag to notify that the author string has changed.
You might need to send a confirmation email that yes you did mean to
change, it is just a double check for both ends. I changed my email for a
package once for some reason and made the confirmation.

Cheers, Mike
