The heuristic inside get_maintainer.pl does not correctly recognize names like
"Andrea della Porta", reporting something like:

della Porta <andrea.porta at suse.com>

and missing both the first name and the double quotes surrounding the
name/surname pair.
Something like "Andrea d. Porta" would be reported correctly but it's not an
option in my case since 'della' is not a middle name that can abbreviated,
it's just integral part of the surname.
The easy workaround I've found (the hard one being fixing get_maintainer.pl
script, of course, but I'm not a Perl guru) is to just let the name be
abbreviated.

I'm not seeing any lines exceeding 80 chars here. Ack for the
blank lines between paragraphs plus >.
