Done, please find the attached patch.

I guess we can keep the part about removing null checks before using strlen,
since it's going to be useless.

I've looked closer, and looks like I was mistaken. In the only place where it
matters we anyway pass NULL after verifying noOwner:

sanitized_owner = sanitize_line(ropt->noOwner ? NULL : te->owner, true);

So I haven't change sanitize_line yet, but can update it if there is a strong
opinion about this function.
