Umh... I'm not very happy to implement this one. It does make sense,
but I think I'd end up doing something according to _my_ use case, and
not general enough - i.e. many users won't have anything meaningful in
/etc/mailname (on this laptop, I have 'localdomain') - In my case, I'd
choose $ENV{EMAIL}, but many people also don't have it set.

As for the person name, many people won't even have something
meaningful in the GECOS field (even worse, might not have the field at
all - think this module is also usable in Windows systems).

I'm just pushing the bug upstream as a wishlist request.
