 == Searching for ports of a specific maintainer ==
 
-It can happen that port maintainer search queries with "port info" deliver ambiguous results. In case you need to make sure that only a specific maintainer handle is found use this
-{{{
-port info --name --maintainer 'maintainer:(\s|^)HANDLE(\s|$)'
+To find ports maintained by a particular maintainer, you can use the "maintainer:" pseudoport.
+Maintainers can list their email address in a port in [http://guide.macports.org/#reference.keywords.maintainers several different ways], and you must search for all of them to be sure you find all relevant ports.
+For example, to print the name and maintainer(s) of all ports maintained by julesverne:
+{{{
+HANDLE=julesverne
+port info --name --maintainer '(' \
+"maintainer:(\s|^)$HANDLE(\s|$)" or \
+"maintainer:(\s|^)$HANDLE at macports.org(\s|$)" or \
+"maintainer:(\s|^)macports.org:$HANDLE(\s|$)" ')'
 }}}
 which will now find only those ports which HANDLE at macports.org maintains.
