Patchwork does store this info somehow and re-use it, quite possibly from the very first patch you ever sent. I think this bug was *just* fixed in patchwork, but it'll probably be a while until that fix lands. However, you can go and create a patchwork account with the real name, associate it with all the email addresses you use and then I think it'll pick it up. Not entirely sure though, you'll have to test it. johannes
