pseudoport search against the obfuscated email address maintainer field does not work

[scott@…]

After a discussion on the mailing list, and a search in trac, I am reporting the following:

Deobfuscation of email addresses does not happen, so the more obvious "maintainer:user@example.com" does not work

Works $port livecheck maintainer:example.com:user

Fails $port livecheck maintainer:user:example.com
