Strange, it went to python-dev not long after the checkin. Tim quoted about
the entire email, though, so you didn't miss much. The name-calling and
snide remarks weren't important anyway :)

Emails in the Author field are likely to be too long to fit in that list,
even if you remove the filename. I'd say go for the SF username, for five
reasons:
1) it's a name developers know and love (or hate)
2) more information on a user can be found through SourceForge
5) that SF email address should work, too. It's where patch updates and
stuff are sent, so most people are likely to have it forwarding to
their PEP author address.
Also, it's the way of least resistance. All you need to change is that
'tpeters' into 'tim_one' :-)
