Martin: For this and for Bug #647475 I think even filling it full of <email address hidden> would be fine, as etckeeper/manual-etc-in-bzr trees do not typically get published anywhere for obvious reasons. We're not actually concerned with the value of this field, as we have ignored it for a long time and used changelog-style commit messages to contain the commiter info along with other pieces of information we care about. That is partly why this came as such a shock to us.

Trusting the mailname, perhaps with an ignorable warning (maybe recommending an uncommit if they want to go back and fix the committer address?), seems to have no drawbacks for this use case.
