We use the Perl module Email::Address::XS to parse the contact
information in package control files. Overall, we found the module
reliable (especially with respect to UTF-8, which can cause a lot of
problems).
You are right that it does not complain about the missing closing
bracket when the information is otherwise parsed correctly. I briefly
looked at the relevant RFC but did not arrive at a conclusion.
For now, I added a test case for that situation:

Please share any documentation about valid and invalid email
addresses, if you have it. Thanks!
Kind regards
Felix Lechner
