Heh.  I include quotes in my Signed-off-by:
Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Because I assumed the format of the DCO was an RFC-822 compliant header format. It otherwise *looks* like an RFC-822 format, so I assumed it should follow all of the rules, including the ones about quoting.

How about this as a compromise? Git continues to store the names in its internal format as it always does, but there is a configuration option which controls whether the various Author: and Committer: fields when displayd by git-log are in RFC-822 format or not.
