"Submitter" display doesn't decode "encoded-word" syntax

Hi Bjorn,

Thanks for the report.

I tested this locally and it seems to be a Python 2 vs Python 3 issue: it
works in Python 3 and fails in Python 2. (OzLabs runs Python 2). Looking
at the thread you mentioned, that also seems to be what the stgit people
discovered.

I'm not immediately sure what the best fix is, but I will continue
investigating and let you know how I go.

Regards,
Daniel
