Hmm

http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/pipermail/kernelnewbies/2014-July/011343.html

comes to mind.  It tells you not to blindly automate this process.

I do not offhand know if it was even designed to be directly used
(and usable) as a cccmd, but anyway, I see this mention in its
"Notes:" section:

  Using "--roles" or "--rolestats" with git send-email --cc-cmd or any
      other automated tools that expect only ["name"] <email address>
      may not work because of additional output after <email address>.

I suspect that what you are showing is the "additional output after
address" the above talks about.

In any case, this command is maintained as part of the kernel, no?
I see Joe Perches signed at the beginning of file in 2007; I do not
know if he still maintains this script, or somebody else is
primarily enhancing it these days (ehh, I probably could use the
script on itself, but I am way too lazy late at night), but asking
him would be a good starting point, instead of asking here.
