The specific request here was to use the user's standard username. So
they would give eg "jameinel" in that field.

My main complaint is that QBzr's config dialog isn't round-tripping the
information. I type:

Username: John Meinel
Email: jameinel

And I get back

Username: John Meinel <jameinel>
Email:

We could either:

1) Check and refuse things that don't look like an email address added
to the email field
2) Change internal bzr to return anything that is in <> as an "email"
3) Have a custom function in qbzr that does the same thing as (2)
instead of the bzr function.
