To fix it up: git commit --amend --author="Foo Bar <foo@bar>" If you cherry-pick patches in the first place, the author gets preserved and you can update them as part of git-rebase or do your modifications using just git commit --amend. Note that at least one patch was Author: instead of From: and at least one two From:s.
