Andrei,
In case a mntner contains only one "auth" scheme, which is MAIL-FROM, it will be replaced with a CRYPT-PW scheme with a DES string that cannot be matched.
Why don't you add "CRYPT-PW azsLXaNunJ9Rs", which is the auth of RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT? This way the hostmaster team could easily update a mntner object when the "authorized and authenticated" maintainer shows up and asks you to perform the update ("authorized and authenticated" above refers to the procedure you have in place for dealing with such cases.) Best regards, Janos PS. Otherwise, I guess you need a special mechanism to update such "orphaned" maintainers...
