Given that the problematic line

	Stable Kernel Maintainance Track [off-list ref] # vX.Y

is not even a valid e-mail address, doesn't this new logic belong to
sanitize_address() conceptually?

Yes, it's much better to do it in the sanitize_address().

Note that I did not check that all the addresses that are handled by
extract-valid-address came through sanitize-address function, so
unlike your original patch, this change alone may still pass some
garbage to Email::Valid->address().  I tend to think that is a
progress; we should make sure all the addresses are sanitized before
using them for sending messages out.
