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

Using R 3.0.3 and Rtools 31, I now see a Note (reproduced on my R-forge

This is just a Note that reminds CRAN maintainers to check that the submission comes actually from his maintainer and not anybody else.

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?)
