Author: bot-deploy Github Action <> is causing parsing to fail. Can this be gracefully handled, like returning an empty email?

Thanks for reporting this. I ran an experiment with git and it seems like it does accept patches with empty emails, so I've updated ParsePatchIdentity to accept the same things. That change is available in version 0.7.2.
