This is called RFC 822 quoted-string. Display names which have 
non-alphanumeric characters such as dots, commas, brackets, double 
quotes, will be subjected to this encoding to make them safe to use by 
Git and other email tooling. I suggest reading Git source code, 
particularly `sub sanitize_address` inside git-send-email.perl.
