- Use print() instead of print_
- Use COMP_WORDS directly in __webkit-patch_upload_cc_generate_reply like __webkit-patch_generate_reply does

The title of the bug and the committ log is incorrect, because it 
only completes options, not email addresses now. Otherwise the
idea is very good, email competion in bash is cool. ;)

Well it should, so if it doesn't then it's broken in some cases.
Did you try to re- source Tools/Scripts/webkit-tools-completion.sh ?

I made some digging, and there were two problems here:
- I copied this script to /etc/bash_completion.d to make it system wide,
but unfortunaly it doesn't work, because the search path of committers.py 
is relative to webkit-tools-completion.sh.
- I thought that completion works similar to cc field on bugzilla and I 
tried to use it with real names and nicknames. But it seems it understands
only email addressess.

Ah ok, do you know if many people use it that way?
Using an environment variable to point to committers.py would be pretty crappy, but maybe it would be possible to extract the path from the first token in $COMP_WORDS. What I mean is to try finding committers.py relatively to webkit-patch instead of webkit-tools-completion.sh.

I talked with Tor Arne about it too but bash haven't designed their completion extension to make this work reliably. It works better with completing than replacing text. So from my point of view it's better to keep it limited and reliable.
