If you don't want people to edit the field such that it's usable with the official package manager of the distribution, then change the formatting rules for the field! If you don't want people editing a field, then change the software such that groups who aren't allowed to edit the field aren't even capable of editing it! Either officially document the expected formatting and permissions, or put automated enforcement rules into place. Throwing accusations of wrongdoing around simply because the action in question generates an email is, again, absurd.
