Patchwork can incorrectly assign ownership. See

The author is Sam John as identified by Message ID as well as the
From field in the headers, yet Patchwork attributes this patch to
"Oliver Collyer via ffmpeg-devel", a name which appears nowhere in
the headers or in the submitted patch. The downloaded mbox patch
shows the same wrong attribution. Does anyone know what's going on?

This happens due to Mailman having to rewrite peoples E-Mail addresses
if they have strong DKIM/DMARC configured on their sending Domain.
If that is the case, only the server of the actual Domain who owns the
right private key can send E-Mails under the name of that Domain.
So for mailing lists to be able to send on the messages, they are
forced to change the sender address.
In the case of this list:
Sam John <samj...@google.com>
gets translated to.
Sam John via ffmpeg-devel <ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org>
Ok. Then shouldn't it assign 'Sam John via ffmpeg-devel' as the author?
It did do that for 'Oliver Collyer via ffmpeg-devel', the string wrongly
substituted here.
This looks like a parser failure in Patchwork.
