The patch just brings parity to the Mail::Address behavior and git's
fallback parser, so that you don't end up with the broken
stable@vger.kernel.org#4.4+ address. Instead, that content goes into the
name part of the address.

It sounds like you want the "# 4.4+" to be dropped entirely in the
rfc822 header. It looks like send-email used to do that, but stopped in
b1c8a11c8 (send-email: allow multiple emails using --cc, --to and --bcc,
2015-06-30).

So perhaps there are further fixes required, but it's hard to know. The
input isn't a valid rfc822 header, so it's not entirely clear what the
output is supposed to be. I can buy either "drop it completely" or
"stick it in the name field of the cc header" as reasonable.
