[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] scripts: report on author emails that are mangled by the mailing list |

In some cases the Author: email address in patches submitted to the
list gets mangled such that it says
John Doe via Qemu-devel <address@hidden>
This change is a result of workarounds for DMARC policies.
Subsystem maintainers accepting patches need to catch these and fix
them before sending pull requests, so a checkpatch.pl test is highly
desirable.
