Why don't you add "CRYPT-PW azsLXaNunJ9Rs", which is the auth of
RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT? This way the hostmaster team could easily update a mntner
object when the "authorized and authenticated" maintainer shows up and asks
you to perform the update ("authorized and authenticated" above
refers to the procedure you have in place for dealing with such cases.)

Best regards,
Janos

PS. Otherwise, I guess you need a special mechanism to update such "orphaned"
maintainers...
