Are there any polices on author field of the commit?

Hello Guix,

when looking into the git log of Guix, in particular author field of
many commits, I noticed that some commits have an author in the form of:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Igor Goryachev via Guix-patches via <guix-patches@gnu.org>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

There seems to be 326 commits with author in this format currently on
the master branch.  Does the project have some policy on expected format
of the author field?

I did not find anything regarding this in the manual.

(I personally think it is bit sub-optimal, but before contacting the
committers, I though I would check here whether there even is some
policy regarding this.)

Have a nice day,
Tomas
