I thought you were asking what we call these "<token> followed by
<colon>" at the end of the log message, and "footers or trailers"
was the answer.
I do not have a strong objection against limiting to "-by:" lines;
for one thing, it would automatically avoid having to worry about
"Bug-ID:" and other trailers that won't have e-mail address at all.
But if you are _only_ picking up "-by:" lines, then calling this
option "trailers" is way too wide and confusing. I do not think
there is any specific name for "-by:" lines, though. Perhaps you
would need to invent some name that has "-by" as a substring.
"any-by"? or just "by"? I dunno.

OK.

Micronits:
(1) do you really want to grab a run of any non-blanks? Don't
you want to exclude at least a colon?
(2) allowing an underscore looks a bit unusual.

It is a bit unfortunate that S-o-b is a subset of any-by that forces
you to do this.

This check is new and applies to sob/cc, too.
I am aware of the fact that people sometimes write only a name with
no e-mail address when giving credit to a third-party and we want to
avoid upsetting the underlying MTA by feeding it a non-address.
Looking at existing helper subs like extract_valid_address and
sanitize_address that all addresses we pass to the MTA go through,
it appears to me that we try to support an addr-spec with only
local-part without @domain, so this new check might turn out to be
too strict from that point of view, but on the other hand I suspect
it won't be a huge issue because the addresses in the footers are
for public consumption and it may not make much sense to have a
local-only address there. I dunno.
