I know, but that would be the wrong way to do this (though it's a cheap way
to get it with the existing functionality).

For one thing it either means users have to scribe individual maintainers
or it means finding a new place to stuff the "real" grimoire name in there
for the user tarball creation process.  And what does it mean for code
promotion for maintainers?  We don't want to lose the devel->test->stable
distinction for maintainers, that's obviously something that's meant for
them, not users.
