Committers may be referred to by their names in COMMITTERS, but non-committers
should be referred to by name, when available.

In this case, having checked <http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1804> to
find rzigweid's name,¹ the conventional form would be:

Email addresses are optional, in the sense that contribulyzer doesn't require
them. When specified, we tend to escape @ as {_AT_}. (This particular
replacement is recognized by tools/dev/contribulyze.py.)

In my review I specifically noted that I hadn't done a complete review. It would
have been appropriate to add a parenthetical recording that fact.

Your client inserted a hard line break here. That's not a deal breaker for a
-x-w patch, of course; just a readability thing.

Sorry for not catching this in my previous review, but is there any additional
context we provide to the sysadmin who'll read this error message? For
example, the revision number, repository name, recipients, subject line,
message-id?

The new log message looks good (though the glob pattern did gave me pause), but
I haven't reviewed the logic changes.

Cheers,

Daniel

¹ Aside: When we migrated from tigris to jira, we seem to have lost the "tigris
username to fullname" mapping. I suspect we don't have any backup of it, save for
what archive.org's spider may have cached.
