Package: debbugs Severity: normal Currently, debbugs sends messages with From: headers in the format “stapelb...@debian.org (Michael Stapelberg)”.
However, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#section-3.4 (from 2001) states: > Note: Some legacy implementations used the simple form where the > addr-spec appears without the angle brackets, but included the name > of the recipient in parentheses as a comment following the addr-spec. > Since the meaning of the information in a comment is unspecified, > implementations SHOULD use the full name-addr form of the mailbox, > instead of the legacy form, to specify the display name associated > with a mailbox. Also, because some legacy implementations interpret > the comment, comments generally SHOULD NOT be used in address fields > to avoid confusing such implementations. Let us please make debbugs a better citizen by following the RFC’s recommendation and switching from the legacy form to the recommended form, i.e. “Michael Stapelberg <stapelb...@debian.org>”.
