Comment:

 `02.patch` patches up the `BP_Email_Recipient` class.

 I've fleshed out the unit tests to handle known user email addresses and
 unknown email addresses.

 Question: What is the intention behind the `$name` parameter in
 `BP_Email_Recipient` class constructor?  Is it only used when a WP user
 isn't found?  I think it would be beneficial to use this as the main
 `$name` even if a WP user is found.  View the following unit tests for
 more info - `test_return_with_known_address_and_optional_name()` and
 `test_return_with_known_array_and_optional_name()`.

 Let's move this to 2.6.
