[PATCH] mailinfo: better parse email adresses containg parentheses

From: Philippe Bruhat (BooK) <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:44:59
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

    When using git-rebase, author fields containing a ')' at the last
    position had the close-parens character incorrectly removed
    because the From: parser incorrectly matched it as

        user@host (User Name)

    (removing parentheses), instead of

        User Name (me) <user@host>
