From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>

Several of my colleagues (and myself) have expressed surprise and annoyance that git-send-email doesn't automatically pick up people who are listed in patches as Reported-by: or Reviewed-by: or ... many other tags that would seem (to us) to indicate that person might be interested. This patch to git-send-email tries to pick up all Foo-by: tags.
