The fix should be in send-email script, as COMMITTER_NAME and
AUTHOR_NAME are just simple strings without RFC2822 limitation
(such as necessity of quoting a ".").

As a matter of fact, recent enough send-email is supposed to
have a fix for this exact problem.  If your copy of send-email
does not have

	sub sanitize_address_rfc822 {

you might want to upgrade.  Both 1.5.2-rc1 and 1.5.1.3 have
this.
