This is not self-evident, can you give some examples?

The argument against, I suppose, is simply why to add code

If Dmitry is the original author, then the proper format is to put

From: Dmitry Torokhov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

at start of the body of the message where it can over-ride the e-mail author.
This is documented in Documentation/SubmittingPatches.
