If the name of an email address contains a comma, it will be split
incorrectly into multiple addresses.

If you want to include a comma in the display-name part of an address,
you need to use the quoted-string form of the phrase.

Adding more quoting like:

    git send-email --to "\"foo bar, geert\" [off-list ref]"

indeed works.  But I feel git send-email could do better, given it already
receives the full email address in a single argv[] entry.

Sorry, but I do not quite follow.

If I were to send a message both to the list and to you, wouldn't

    git send-email --to "l-k@vger.k.org, geert <g@l-m68k.o>"

a valid way to do so?
