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.
