Hi Gert,

I was not suggesting it, I think it is a bad idea, but I interpreted the following as Job suggesting it.
> I think a mandatory "-MNT" or "MNT-" or "-MAINT" is helpful because the maintainers primary key string does pop up from time to time without any context, and this can lead to confusion. See https://seclists.org/nanog/2020/Jan/650 for a fun story about how one person's email error code is another person's BGP autonomous system reference. :-)

This is true, but I was responding to Cynthia's suggestion of having a
mandatory "-mnt".  Which would affect us - as I said, doable, but it needs
to make sense.

Of course if it's only about "looks like an ASN" mntners, I'll go back in
my lurking corner and watch with interest :-)
