Hmmm.  Then perhaps the list can be simplified as follows?

 * Both name and email are explicitly given (i.e. user.* or
   GIT_COMMITTER_* specifies them) --- no complaints.

 * For email, ending with ".(none)" and "@" followed by something without
   a dot is wrong but everything else are Ok.

 * Everything else falls into (3)

There is no "partially" then.

By the way, wasn't it you who wanted to refuse use of user.name _and_
user.email that come from ~/.gitconfig, so that you can be sure you use
different pseudonym for each project?
