I am not convinved by adding another configuration option, especially
when it has to be in sync with another configuration option (ordering in
user.other_name having to match user.other_email). I would much prefer
allowing (but not requiring) "Name <user@example.org>" style addresses
both in user.primary_email and user.other_email.

With a cursory glance at the implementation, I wonder if you could just
pick the name based on the address you've picked earlier, and leave the
address matching mostly as it is. Would save some passing of parameters
around. Maybe.

Additionally, I'd very much like to have my series [1] merged
first. It'll be *much* easier to rebase your series on top than the
other way around...
