You seem to be among the more active Emacs contributors in and around package.el and GNU ELPA, so I suppose I'm asking if you wouldn't mind weighing in on this when you get a chance. To summarize, I've belatedly discovered that once ERC 5.6 is released, the more-or-less widely acknowledged [1] "baseline" package-upgrade method (of manually navigating the `package-menu-mode' UI from M-x list-packages) won't actually work on any ERC-supported Emacs release (currently 27+) even though it's the one method recommended in ERC's docs (expressly because it was perceived as being fail-safe). And while C-u M-x package-install RET does in fact work on Emacs 29, it's sadly not documented in the ERC manual that ships with 29.2. Stefan has suggested renaming the `:maintainer' item in the `extras' slot of `package-desc' objects to `:maintainers' (plural). IIUC, this would have the effect of solving the issue by omitting the "Maintainer:" line item in *Help* buffers produced by `package-menu-describe-package' and friends for all packages on all Emacs versions below 30.1. Full remediation would, I think, also require that foo-pkg.el files and /archive-contents data hosted on elpa.gnu.org reflect the newer format. To help move this process along, Stefan has called for patches, but I unfortunately am unable to reciprocate because I lack the wherewithal. Hoping you're able to assist in this regard either directly, with code, or by pointing out specific areas in the Emacs code base (and possibly elpa-admin's as well) that would need addressing.

If we're only to choose one and also preserve compatibility, wouldn't it
have to be `:maintainers' (plural)? Trying this out on Emacs 28 with
package menu item
_erc_ 5.6snapshot0.20240124.205832 available devel An Emacs ...
(specifically, by swapping out the `:maintainer' item in the extras slot
of ERC's `package-archive-contents' entry with an otherwise identical
`:maintainers' item), I'm able to successfully advance to the next
screen:
Package erc is available.
Status: Available from devel -- Install
Archive: devel
Version: 5.6snapshot0.20240124.205832
Commit: b5d36efa5777e4cc6db1067d58224d676cedbdd3
Summary: An Emacs Internet Relay Chat client
Requires: emacs-27.1, compat-29.1.4.4

Other versions: 5.5 (gnu), 5.5.0.29.1 (builtin).
I can only assume doing the same with the contents of erc-pkg.el in the
downloaded tarball would additionally allow me to view the refreshed
help-mode buffer after installation. I've tried simulating this by
updating ERC's entry in `package-alist'. (IIUC, instead of passing along
the `package-desc' object from `package-archive-contents',
`package-install-button-action' elects to have `describe-package-1' look
up the associated value anew in `package-alist', perhaps because it's
seen as more recent or more authoritative, having just been read in by
`package-load-descriptor' from erc-pkg.el.) In any case, this gives me:
Package erc is installed.
Status: Installed in =E2=80=98erc-5.6snapshot0.20240124.205832/=E2=
=80=99,

If I haven't overlooked anything, then perhaps changing `:maintainer' to
`:maintainers' (plural) presents an agreeable solution.

As far as patches go, I unfortunately remain rather uninitiated to the
mysteries of this package system and doubt I can up my game sufficiently
enough to amount to anything more than a sad annoyance. However, I can
try harassing other package.el folk to see if any among them might bend.

I'd rather have only one of the two (either `:maintainer` or
`:maintainers`) but not both at the same time. The downside for those
few multi-maintainer packages is fairly small (its only impact is that
`describe-package` will not show the maintainers, which is what we've
had for many years).

Nothing specific on ERC's side, no.
But patches for `elpa-admin.el` and for Emacs would be welcome (tho
extra time would be welcome as well :-)

Hmm... this requires manual work per package, and it drops support for
multiple maintainers altogether, so I'd rather not go there. I was
thinking instead of making `:maintainer` hold only a single item (the
improper list thingy) and use `:maintainers` to hold the list of
maintainers when there's more than one, which would be more
backward compatible and would solve the problem for all packages.

Would one of those several ways possibly include overriding the
`package-desc-extras' :maintainer item scraped by `lm-maintainers' with
a spec item from an elpa-packages entry? I see that support for a
`:maintainer' keyword was recently added, but it appears to serve some
other purpose. Anyway, I've attached a sketch of what I'm trying to
describe, but I'm rather unfamiliar with this program.

Do you mean that `package-install` won't work because the package is
already installed? Hmm... yeah, that'd be a problem.
I can see several ways to "fix" this, but I think the simplest would be
to change
;; Maintainer: Amin Bandali <bandali@HIDDEN>, F. Jason Park <jp@HIDDEN>
into
;; Maintainer: emacs-erc@HIDDEN
Would that be a problem?

Not sure if this is relevant, but it seems `package-archive-version' is
1 on both sides of this divide. Should it maybe have been incremented?

Perhaps GNU ELPA would consider versioned endpoints serving the same
resources in older formats, e.g.,
/package/v1
/devel/v1

This indeed works interactively on Emacs 29. Thanks.
However, ERC also supports versions 27 and 28. What's the recommended
way for folks to upgrade on those Emacsen? The least gruesome thing I
could conjure up is
(package-install (car (alist-get 'erc package-archive-contents)))
But that's still a rather unfriendly incantation, IMO.
Also, pardon my ignorance here, but it was my understanding that M-x
list-packages RET is meant to be the de facto entry point for baseline
upgrade functionality in Emacs.
If you'll recall, during the lead up to Emacs 29's release, various
discussions unfolded in and around
bug#62720: 29.0.60; Not easy at all to upgrade :core packages like Eglot
And throughout these, the following method held firm as a surefire way
for upgrading a :core package:
"It's not impossible to upgrade in Emacs 29, of course. The only way I
know is to M-x package-list-packages, find Eglot 1.14 in the list,
mark it with 'i' and confirm installation with 'x'. But it is very
awkward." [1]
Despite being "awkward," this method was acknowledged as reliable by
multiple parties who were often otherwise at odds with one another:
"OTOH, the workaround you described in [62720#5 [1]] doesn't sound too
awful to me, given that this problem exists for a while and is not
specific to Eglot." [2]
"So we have the following alternatives for the way forward: [...]
install your changes on master only, and leave the problem of updating
a core package unsolved in Emacs 29 (with the workaround mentioned in
the beginning of this bug's discussion available to alleviate the
problem to some extent)" [3]
"The official way of switching from built-in packages to ELPA should
still be to use the package menu." [4]
"But selecting the package with I and then installing it will "update"
it" [5]
"As we already know, the user can already install a newer version of
Eglot using the 'list-packages' menu (and picking the exact version
manually)" [6]
"Whereas one can always upgrade a built-in package using 'i'
(package-menu-mark-install) in the list-packages menu" [7]
"To manually execute an upgrade of one package, one needs to both mark
the new version for installation (after first scrolling down the list
to find it), and mark the current version for deletion. This is what
currently an upgrade consists of." [8]
"We do. We have commands for upgrading, both in "list-packages", and
used interactively. Which do the thing of installing the new version
and removing the old one. Which is what upgrading means in various
tools, e.g. 'apt'." [9]
"The bug#62720, reported by me, listed the only workaround that works
identically in Emacs 2*. Just go to the package menu and press 'I' on
the package you want to install. Boom, there go the ancient safeguards
against updating builtin packages." [a]
Thus, because this method, however unfashionable, also seemed the only
one compatible with older Emacsen [b], ERC's documentation adopted it as
its recommended means of upgrading:
To upgrade, run =E2=80=98M-x list-packages <RET>=E2=80=99. In the =E2=80=
=98*Packages*=E2=80=99
(=E2=80=98package-menu-mode=E2=80=99) buffer, click the =E2=80=98erc=E2=
=80=99 package link for the
desired version. If unsure, or if the version column is too narrow to
tell, try the bottom-most candidate. In the resulting =E2=80=98help-mode=
=E2=80=99
buffer, confirm the version and click =E2=80=98Install=E2=80=99. [c]
And this adoption was made known to the current Emacs maintainers at the
time [d]. Consequently, the language above was indelibly seared into the
fabric of ERC 5.5.0.29 and Emacs 29, not only in doc/misc/erc.texi but
also in various doc strings of user options referencing it. Which leads
me to believe that once ERC 5.6 is released, it'll be the upgrade method
many users inevitably try.
So I guess all of this amounts to my asking if some accommodation can be
made server-side to special-case the massaging of ERC's package metadata
into an agreeable format fully compatible with M-x list-packages RET on
older Emacsen.
Thanks,
J.P.

That just depends on when the package was built (i.e. before or after
`elpa.gnu.org`s Emacs was upgraded from Emacs-27 to Emacs-28).

Its installable via `package-install`, but not from the
`package-menu-describe-package` because of this bug in that command.

Hm, I'm starting to suspect this perceived "breakage" may in fact be
intentional (i.e., a "schema evolution"), at least on the /devel
endpoint, given it seems to be reflected in the disparity between
;; /devel/archive-contents
(:maintainer ("Bob Weiner" . "rsw@HIDDEN")
("Mats Lidell" . "matsl@HIDDEN"))
and
;; /packages/archive-contents
(:maintainer "Bob Weiner <rsw@HIDDEN>, Mats Lidell"
. "matsl@HIDDEN")
And likewise for ./foo-pkg.el in
;; /devel/foo-42.0.tar
(define-package ... :maintainer

vs.
;; /packages/foo-42.0.tar
(define-package ... :maintainer
'("Bob Weiner <rsw@HIDDEN>, Mats Lidell" . "matsl@HIDDEN"))
Assuming this isn't a red herring, will this perceived dichotomy hold
going forward? That is, can we count on releases at the /packages
endpoint being of the improper-list variety and not the alist variety
for the foreseeable future? If so, then I guess this bug is much ado
about nothing and can be closed, since ERC 5.6+ will be installable on

I believe this is already fixed in `master`.
Luckily, this bug does not affect `package-install`.

RET RET
Perhaps I'm hallucinating, but for some reason I was under the
impression the ELPA production instance combined multiple maintainers
into a single conjoined entity. At least I seem to remember something
like that being in effect back when ERC first encountered this in
setting up its own CI endpoint [1]. In any case, it'd be nice to somehow
fix this if it's looking like ERC 5.6 will be affected once it's
released. Please let me know if anything's required on our end.
Thanks.
