Many types of signatures are used by various projects.
The most common type is formatted:
	"[some_signature_type]-by: First Last [off-list ref]"
e.g:
	"Reported-by: First Last [off-list ref]" (no quotes are used)

This is just a phrasing issue, but I am a bit reluctant about the name
"signature".

I've called all these markings signatures.
Maybe email-address-tags or another name could be used.
I'm not bothered one way or another by any chosen name.

Does your change do the right thing on such an address-less entry?  The
answer to this question must start with the definition of "the right thing
to do is X", of course.

All addresses go through "extract_valid_address".
Invalid addresses are not used.
