Hi again,

bulk build reports sometimes fail to get the correct value for the
maintainer field because they grep the Makefile directly.  This is
enough if the package has a single Makefile, but those that are
"splitted" (i.e., Makefile.common) don't work properly.

What do you think of the following patch, which uses bmake to get
the maintainer if the grep failed?  (I can't test it.)
