If you are happy (as the maintainer), then fine. My script just could
not connect those 2 email addresses. I check for matches between the
address itself (the part between the <>) or a match between the "name"
part (before the <>). If either matches (or it is obvious) then I
don't report it.
I have reported very few of these.

These reports are more of "is this right/was this a slipup?" rather
than "this is not allowed" i.e.. there are circumstances under which
the actual author does not (or cannot) provide a Signed-off-by and that
is OK.
