What does it mean for the maintainer to be optional? Is it optional because the maintainer has a default?

If it's optional because it doesn't matter, it shouldn't be included because that creates problems for code that needs to match PURLs.

``vip`` for VI Package Manager (VIPM) format packages (LabVIEW):

- The ``namespace`` is the company name from the package attributes (optional).

It doesn't seem like the namespace is used by the native vipm tools (the website makes links like vipm://oglib_numeric), so it probably should not be included here.
