I think this is a bug, but you might classify it as a feature request.

In 00whois.xml there are two types of user: <type>author</type> and <type>list</type>. It looks like you're just importing everything in 00whois as an author, which means that mailing lists can turn up in search results:

I suspect that when I type "module::list", you're splitting into the individual words and those then match against the asciiname for PGPML, which is The PGP Module Mailing List.

And if you select a mailing list in search results, it is presented as if it's an author, but if you look in 00whois you'll also see:

<has_cpandir>0</has_cpandir>

So mailing lists, unsurprisingly, can't release things.

I think mailing lists should be excluded.
