Well I believe/expect/hope that git's name+email-address transformation
goes via a lookup in the kernel's .mailmap file.
And the existing .mailmap appears to have taken care that all the
"name" parts are in an MUA-usable form. There are no periods or
commas.
So if everyone had a .mailmap entry then
- The Author: lines would all be MUA usable
- The Author lines would all be in their owners' preferred form. I mean,
converting
"Morton, Andrew"
into
Morton, Andrew
didn't improve things much.
