I am having trouble with the syntax.  I was trying to add a few lines to the reconvert script at the end of the reposurgeon inline script, before the "dedup" statement.  Like this:
<bma...@we...!2014-06-01T11:26:58+02:00> setfield author "Tatsuro Matsuoka <tma...@ya...>"
But I am getting error messages:
reposurgeon: couldn't match a name at <bma...@we...!2014-06-01T11:26:58+02:00>

It does not help to revert the order of time and email. What am I doing wrong?
