git-fast-import requires the author to be specified as

    'author' SP <name> SP LT <email> GT SP <when> LF

where "<email> is the person's email address".  I think that somebody on
the git mailing list suggested the current form, but obviously it's no
more correct than what you suggest.  But before making any changes one
should check that all of the "fast-import" tools accept an empty email
address.
