When parsing emails from .yaml files in particular, stray punctuation
such as a leading '-' can end up in the name. For example, consider a
common YAML section such as:
maintainers:
- devicetree@vger.kernel.org
This would previously be processed by get_maintainer.pl as:
- <devicetree@vger.kernel.org>
Make the logic in clean_file_emails more robust by deleting any
sub-names which consist of common single punctuation marks before
proceeding to the best-effort name extraction logic. The output is then
correct:
devicetree@vger.kernel.org
Some additional comments are added to the function to make things
clearer to future readers.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
