You are quoting only Author: and not Signed-off-by: and Cc: that are used
for e-mail purposes.  I already said send-email is the right place to do
this kind of thing, didn't I?  Your patch makes things worse by making
some <name, mail> pair already quoted and some others don't.

Please don't do this.
