I rechecked the code and it is not a problem. Email::Valid does indeed
reject these names, but it is currently only applied to check the
<mail@debian.org> part. The names are still checked by the old
"home-made" regex approach.
Nevertheless I have added a name containing full stops in
fields-uploaders to check potential regressions if we start using
Email::Valid on the names as well.
