I would prefer if this didn't happen again.
This is quite unfortunate - and catching it requires a bit of extra
vigilance when applying the patches (and may require looking up what the
real email address should be - although if it's part of a preexisting
Signed-off-by, it's clearer).
There's one way to avoid the issue; by passing the "--force-in-body-from"
option to git format-patch or send-email, it adds an extra explicit
"From:" field in the body of the message (just like it does if you're
sending a patch from a different author than yourself), so "git am" gets
the right form of the author from there when applying it.
