Plan A

Proposal for e.g. PKG_MAINTAINER_HANDLE which uniquely identifies the 
user's github @ handle (or forum?) to ease identifying and tagging the 
user (for review purposes) on github, given the general trend to discuss 
changes in these locations.

Such variable to go into Makefiles:

PKG_MAINTAINER:=Joe Bloggs <joe at example.com>
PKG_MAINTAINER_HANDLE:=github: @joe; https://forum.openwrt.org/u/joe/

Plan B

co-opt existing PKG_MAINTAINER field, but perhaps it's possible?

e.g:

PKG_MAINTAINER:=Joe Bloggs <joe at example.com>, github: @joe
