The quotes are there to handle the '.' character which email clients
need. If you have a question about a specific person's entry, why not
email them about it? To not do so is a bit rude.
thanks,

I suspect that some mail clients will explode if you provide them with
an unquoted string containing periods. That would make copy-n-paste
rather a hassle.

It's not clients, it's servers.
SMTP rules state that characters such as "." cannot appear
unquoted in email headers.
vger.kernel.org rejects mail when this violation occurs.

Ok, but should not MUA do this quotation? Quick test shows that mutt does...

My recollection is that the get_maintainer script
cannot parse M: lines with multiple entries with
periods without the quotes.
M: First I. Last <[email protected]>, Last.I.First <[email protected]>
fails and
M: "First I. Last" <[email protected]>, "Last.I.First" <[email protected]>
succeeds.
You are welcome to improve the parsing in that routine.

There are perl modules providing full rfc parsing of email addresses
(with all those weird cases nobody uses) ... but i doubt it's urgent,
especially as we can more or less control the input to get_maintainer.pl
by controlling the MAINTAINER file and the git version history ...
