I would personally prefer to have this configurable; I consider trying
to protect your e-mail address against harvesters is a lost fight anyway
and you'd be much better off just getting a good spam filter, rather
than making yours and others' life harder by trying to fight in vain.
But it's not too important for me since I can just disable this easily.

But email name collisions within projects are vanishingly rare, so I
don't see a lot of benefit in publishing the FQDN.

That's a good point, I guess I was just ranting in general. ;-)

Your life would be much easier in both the shell and python script if
you used something like:

	git log -1 '--pretty=format:%an <%ae>%n%at%n%s'

You would also get <ts> in the correct format, incl. timezone correction.

Good point.  I inherited that nasty code; perhaps this facility did not
exist when it was written.

It most probably wasn't, the original perl script in particular was
written at the very dawn of time from git history perspective.
