Bagas SanjayaHi,
This regression is similar to one I reported earlier [1], with the same error message but with slightly different reproducer (and as continuation to the former report).
I use git-send-email(1) to submit patches (occasional doc fixes) to LKML. Rather than having to type multiple --to/--cc addresses, I use the undocumented behavior of listing multiple addresses separated by comma in a single --to/--cc option. i.e.:
``` $ git send-email \ --to="foo <foo@acme.com>,bar <bar@acme.com>" \ --cc="main list <main-list@acme.com>, sub list <sub-list@acme.com>" \ /path/to/series/*.patch ```
[This is the same behavior as Thunderbird.]
In my linux kernel tree (linux.git) used for development, I add sendemail-validate hook that adds DKIM-like attestation with patatt:
``` #!/bin/sh # installed by patatt install-hook patatt sign --hook "${1}" ```
Starting from Git v2.41.0, when I try to use git-send-email(1), I got perl-related error:
``` Use of uninitialized value $address in sprintf at /home/bagas/.app/git/dist/v2.42.0/libexec/git-core/git-send-email line 1172. error: unable to extract a valid address from: ```
It looks like git-send-email(1) trips on cover letter since there is no recipient addresses there, and also on patches without Signed-off-by: trailer.
Bisecting between v2.40.0 and v2.41.0, the culprit is commit a8022c5f7b67 (send-email: expose header information to git-send-email's sendemail-validate hook, 2023-04-19). The perl error should have been reduced by [2], but this address splitting (parsing) is still not addressed.
The full bisection log is:

To reproduce this regression:
1. Clone git.git repo, then branch off:
``` $ git clone https://github.com/git/git.git && cd git $ git checkout -b test ```
2. Make two dummy signed-off commits:
``` $ echo test > test && git add test && git commit -s -m "test" $ echo "test test" >> test && git commit -a -s -m "test test" ```
3. Generate patch series:
``` $ mkdir /tmp/test $ git format-patch -o /tmp/test --cover-letter main ```
4. Send the series to dummy address:
``` $ git send-email --to="foo <foo@acme.com>,bar <bar@acme.com>" /tmp/test/*.patch ```
My system runs Debian testing (trixie/sid) with perl 5.36.0.
Thanks.
