Adding more quoting like:

    git send-email --to "\"foo bar, geert\" <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>"

indeed works.  But I feel git send-email could do better, given it already
receives the full email address in a single argv[] entry.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
