hmm... if this is possible we do need to only check for email and move one.

But anyways what I'm seeing a lot recently is this patchwork issue joonas mentioned.
I had to edit few of my patches recently because something on the way changed my
"name last" per "last, name".. and this seems exactly the case with one Manasi's and
one Lee's patch that was impacting the pull request flow.

So if the patchwork is fixed now I believe we can just change the check to email
instead of the name and move on...

Thanks,
Rodrigo.
