FWIW, I went through the exact same thought process as you did and came to the

TBH I had assumed that the email address was RFC2822 compliant.  Thanks for the
code.  I've incorporated it into v2.

Whups.  Thanks for the pointer.  Also fixed in v2.

Added to v2 (along with Brian's suggestion to test %aE, %aN, and %aL).

I like this suggestion a lot.  I'm incorporating into v2 as well as similar
changes for the COMMITTER fields.
