Bug Description

I'm trying to register my key using snapcraft register-key, but it fails with the following message:

error: cannot assemble assertion account-key-request: "name" header contains invalid characters: "Leonardo Arias Fonseca (¡paz y baile!) <email address hidden>"
Command '['snap', 'export-key', '--account=2ddTRA7lnNtC2twvY9a4Uz9rdzmygXct', 'Leonardo Arias Fonseca (¡paz y baile!) <email address hidden>']' returned non-zero exit status 1

Moving this to snapd as I think it's where this would have to be changed; the issue can be reproduced by running the quoted command; in my case:
snap export-key --account=xxxxxxxxxxx 'Loïc Minier <email address hidden>'
error: cannot assemble assertion account-key-request: "name" header contains invalid characters: "Loïc Minier <email address hidden>"

This is matched against a regexp in snapd/asserts/account_key.go:
var validAccountKeyName = regexp.MustCompile(`^(?:[a-z0-9]+-?)*[a-z](?:-?[a-z0-9])*$`)

affects: snapcraft → snapd

I tried adding an UID with just ascii chars, no parenthesis either, but that didn't help as spaces aren't allowed.

What worked was adding an UID like "loicminier" (loic-minier would work too I guess)
