I'm not sure this solution is correct.
If I take a patch from Andrew, backport it, and send to the list, Andrew
will be listed in the in-body From. However, he shouldn't be the sender
from the Patchwork point of view: he shouldn't get the patch status
notification emails - I should. We don't want to spam an original author
if their patch is backported to several different releases, or picked up
and resent in someone else's series, etc etc. So unless I've
misunderstood something, we can't rely on the in-body from matching
Patchwork's understanding of the sender.
Yeah, it may be that patchwork and git have two different priorities
here. From my perspective, the problem is getting the patch into a git
repo with the right author name. But patchwork may want to make the
distinction between author and sender.
Yes, I was referring to the git am case, not the Patchwork case.
