When patch sender's name has special characters,
git send-email did not quote it before matching
against the author name.
As a result it would produce mail like this:
Date: Thu, 23 May 2013 16:36:00 +0300
From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
To: qemu-devel@xxxxxxxxxx
Cc: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH 0/9] virtio: switch to linux headers
Message-Id: <1369316169-20181-1-git-send-email-mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
Fix by sanitizing before matching to patch author name.
Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
