It seems Patchwork or SMTP servers are messing some patches and changing the original git's author name on git per "Last, First". So we end up with a mismatch were signed-off uses one name format and author is using another format.
So, let's check for email addresses instead. However let's continue to WARN so commiters can take action on it before pushing patch upstream with incorrect "Last, First" name.
