With b4 being used for other projects than just the Linux kernel, I don't think it makes sense for us to track what is a valid and what is an invalid "person-trailer". I know that we could make it configurable, but I don't think this will actually improve the situation.

One goal for b4 is to allow defining validation tests and requiring them prior to "b4 send", so I think this is a better mechanism for dealing with such situations.
