(cc:ing Wolfgang)

Not to nitpick too much here since for this particular contributor it
will not make a difference, but UTF-8 in e-mail addresses is fine to me
[1] and is useful for people whose roman-alphabet-based names include
diacritics not available in ASCII.

Thus, as far as constraints on e-mail addresses are concerned, I'd
rather allow UTF-8 but impose the use of the roman alphabet (if needed,
by transliterating) as opposed to e.g. using the cyrillic alphabet, or
ideograms, because the common language here is English, so everyone
posting here is at least used to roman, but not necessarily to other
alphabets or writing systems.

[1] if not always to 'pwclient git-am', but then 'pwclient get' + 'git
am' works fine.

Amicalement,
