Please describe the issue that you are experiencing

Upload a folder full of .whl files with: twine upload --password XXX --username XXX --skip-existing --repository-url https://devops.XXX.YY/XXX/YY/_packaging/Feedname/pypi/upload * --verbose when the error message (for some packages) appears:

HTTPError: 400 Bad Request from https://devops.XXX.YY/XX/YY/_packaging/Feedname/pypi/upload Bad Request - The email 'Jeff Forcier <jeff@bitprophet.org>' is invalid. (DevOps Activity ID: GUID)

Although it applies to many wheels, the specific error comes from the alabaster-0.7.16-py3-none-any.whl

Please list the steps required to reproduce this behaviour

1. Download the 0.7.16 .whl file from https://pypi.org/project/alabaster/
2. Upload to pypi

Anything else you'd like to mention?

As already stated - but I want to emphasize - this applies to various packets. So maybe (if the issue is related to invalid metadata) should be considered in twine.

Addon: A package which works to upload is altgraph. The METADATA's author email looks like following

Author-email: ronaldoussoren@mac.com

On the other hand, alabaster's author email equals

Author-email: Jeff Forcier jeff@bitprophet.org

[Toemsel]

Addon: The Maintainer-email - if provided - also causes this issue.

@Toemsel I don't know what "Devops" is but that is what's returning the error, not twine. Twine is merely rendering the error returned by your index server to you. And this is not a valid thing for "Devops" to complain about as the format has been the same for probably at least 20 years (since PyPI was the Cheese shop probably). So your index is broken and doing the wrong thing. Whomever you paid for it is who you need to file an issue with.
