I've pulled this, but the commit in question shows that you are doing
something wrong in your workflow.

In particular, you seem to have cut-and-pasted email names from some
raw email, and done so incorrectly.

As a result, we have this:

Cc: =?utf-8?b?546L6LSH?= <yun.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

which is not a valid name for Yun.

It should have been

Cc: 王贇 <yun.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Either let the email tools do proper decoding of the headers and
cut-and-paste from that, or use one of the explicit tools that do
email header decoding (there's at least a few online ones).

Yeah, yeah, I know, we're much too used to US-ASCII (or, in my case,
the slightly expanded Western Latin1), and there's a couple of other
examples of this in the git history, but we really should strive to
get peoples names right.
