FWIW, Alvaro is the one who was doing the complaining...

Yeah, and gmail (being probably by far the most common client used)
also auto-learns those things.

For that reason I'd lean towards having something just be "PostgreSQL
commits <noreply@postgresql.org>" and not put the name in there at all
-- the name would of course go in the body.

Another option we could go with would be to have the email sender be
"Stephen Frost <sfrost@postgresql.org>", since we have by policy been
giving all committers such an email address. We'd need to add the
ability to do that mapping into the commit message script as it
doesn't have it right now, but it would be doable. And of course, it
would suddenly make it more important for committers to ensure that
this forwarder or mailbox actually works.
