The "maintainer" line is no issue. But have you looked closely at the 
remaining part of the CRAN incoming check that you have snipped ("....") 
in the above copy? Sometimes there are

     Possibly misspelled words in DESCRIPTION:

which you need to fix or quote as appropriate (see 
https://CRAN.R-project.org/web/packages/submission_checklist.html), or 
explain that the listed words were wrongly flagged (if that is the case, 
by replying to the auto-check e-mail).
