I had to add to the bikeshed, but I had to read this several times to
make sense of it. It is grammatically:
X [is] neither Y nor Z
except that by eliding the verb ("is"), I somehow had trouble making
sense of Z ("a match...") as a noun.
I came up with:
--author '%s': neither 'Name <email>' nor matches an existing author
only to see that it was suggested earlier in the thread as a predecessor
to this. ;)
I wonder if adding back in the missing verb, rather than a colon, would
also make more sense:
--author '%s' is neither 'Name <email>' nor a match for an existing author
