You are assuming that all data in the RIPE Database is either maintained
by the RIPE NCC (registry data) or by members. This is not the case. A
member can, for example, make a sub-allocation to another organisation
that the RIPE NCC has no contract with and probably no direct email
contact with. That sub-allocation can be further sub-allocated and then
there may be assignments made where the assignment holder has the mnt-by
authority over the assignment. However many layers, there is of course a
chain of authority leading back to the LIR who has responsibility for
their allocated address space. But it is not always as simple as the
RIPE NCC emails a member and asks them to 'fix it'.
