That's not a valid email address, so perhaps `ietf-drums-parse-address'
should return a blank string as the name here...  On the other hand,
calling that function on something that's not an email address (which
debbugs-gnu does here) it should probably be free to return whatever.

Indeed.  I've now changed debbugs-gnu to split the "OCTETS
<MORE-OCTETS>" string returned by the debbugs web server correctly.
