Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 jmr@…]:
 > Do we really want to slow down mportsearch even more by making it run
 the deobfuscation on every maintainer field? Besides, it's arguably
 working correctly in that it matches against what's actually in the index.
 I found it nonintuitive that the "maintainer:foo" pseudoport syntax would
 require the user to use the exact wording in the portfile. What if a user
 has multiple ports, some of which use the "user at domain" syntax, and others
 which use the "domain:user" syntax?

 > You're not matching the address exactly in any case, it's a regex.
 True... so the user can use 'maintainer:(user at domain|domain:user)' (with
 the quotes). It still feels like a workaround for a missing behavior.
