Yes.  Apparently it's possible to have a double-quote inside the name,
too.  mutt understands both of the following:

alias qn \"Q. N\\\"ame\" <q...@example.org>   # becomes "Q. N\"ame"
alias dq \"Dub O.\" \"Q\" <d...@example.org>  # becomes "Dub O. Q"

The "qn" case can be taken care of using a simpler replacement
on top my original RFC:

--- a/git-send-email.perl
+++ b/git-send-email.perl
@@ -530,7 +530,7 @@ my %parse_alias = (
                        # quotes may be escaped in the file,
                        # remove them if paired so we do not
                        # double-escape them later.
-                       s/^\\"(.*?)\\"/"$1"/g foreach @addr;
+                       s/\\"/"/g foreach @addr;
                        $aliases{$alias} = \@addr
                }}},
        mailrc => sub { my $fh = shift; while (<$fh>) {

But I'm not sure how to handle the "dq" case or if that even
happens in practice, as attempting to save an alias with "Dub O." "Q"
in the From: header, mutt shortens it to the expected \"Dub O. Q\"
without extra quotes.

Saving "qn" round trips, so the \\\" in the middle is preserved.
