RFS template HTML-escapes email address

The RFS page has a link to "Send the filled out template below by mail". When I use this for a package of mine, the opened email seems to apply HTML escaping to the Upstream Author field. I.e. the body of the new email appears as:

...
Upstream Author : Matthew Fernandez &lt;matthew.fernandez@gmail.com&gt;
...

I generally edit it to turn the "<" and ">" back into "<" and ">" respectively, but is this intentional?

This is on macOS using Safari and Apple Mail, so it's possible this is a quirk of one of the Apple pieces involved here, rather than anything in the link itself.
