I've tried to address this as follows now:

commit f3e7822028616014f933b99d05f42fc028f8d12c

    quilt mail: Allow commas in Signed-off-by and Acked-by lines
    
    The standard quilt_mail_patch_filter() in quilt mail tries to extract email
    addresses from Signed-off-by and Acked-by lines.  It adds Cc headers with those
    addresses.
    
    Signed-off-by and Acked-by lines sometimes contain commas as part of the
    address.  When put in recipient headers (To, Cc, Bcc), the commas are
    interpreted as separators, which breaks things.
    
    Try to recognize this case and add the appropriate quotes.  For example, the
    email address in ``Signed-off-by: Gruenbacher, Andreas <agruen@linbit.com>'' is
    now extracted as ``"Gruenbacher, Andreas" <agruen@linbit.com>''.
    
    Note that quilt_mail_patch_filter() can be overridden in .quiltrc; you may need
    to update your .quiltrc.

    quilt mail: Support double quoted special characters in email adresses
    
    Addresses like "Gruenbacher, Andreas" <agruen@linbit.com> will work now.


Please give it a shot.

Thanks,
Andreas
