That is a separate issue. The patch I posted will make format-patch
properly quote rfc822 specials in actual email header lines. But
Signed-off-by lines will remain as they are, being part of the message
body. And I think that's what we want. You certainly wouldn't want to
rfc2047-encode them (they are already covered by the body's content-type
encoding).

And while you could quote rfc822 specials, people don't tend to do that.
There's no formal syntax defined, but people tend to treat them as:

  Signed-off-by: (.*) <(.*)>

i.e., everything inside <> is an address, and everything before that is
the name.

If there is an issue with send-email parsing signed-off-by lines or
formatting the addresses it pulls from them, that's a separate problem
that will need to be dealt with in send-email.
