The reason why we have the "verify the input" thing, allow users to
supply multiple --to/--cc/etc., and do not try to split the
addresses ourselves is because we want to avoid mistakenly splitting
a single address like the above into two and producing syntactically
incorrect addresses.  People have relied on the current behaviour
for a long time, without manually dropping comma when they send
their patches with --to='"Jane, Doe" [off-list ref]'.

Yes, but they couldn't send with --to='"Jane, Doe" [off-list ref]'
anyway since 79ee555b (Check and document the options to prevent
mistakes. 2006-06-21).  So I don't think that this part is a
regression.

Ahh, stupid me.  Thanks.

Then starting with the "split at the comma" implementation is
perfectly fine.  People will learn not to use '"Doe, Jane" <jdoe>'
because that will not work while the implementation is limited, and
later when it is enhanced, they can start using that form.
