Hi!

(As discussed before...), in 2020, email doesn't work anymore the way it
did years ago...  ;-/ (Let's please *not* discuss this here.)

So we're now dealing with emails with "From: [...] via Gcc-patches
<gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org>", etc.

... which occasionally then ends up in Git commit author:

On 2020-11-17T00:15:36+0000, Jeff Law via Gcc-cvs <gcc-cvs@gcc.gnu.org> wrote:

Should we have a Git commit hook to catch that (and similar variants)?


(This is not to blame Jeff, of course; it's very easy to not notice
that.)
