My workflow has been to use git format-patch (1.7.9.5 was shipped with
my distro), edit the cover letter then use and mutt to send the
generated emails. Before that I used git apply to import the patches
that Christoph sent me. I thought about it too, but hand editing the
email generated by format-patch to essentially having me take credit
for this sounded like a shady thing to do. The updated version of
git's (2.1.0) format-patch doesn't change the from email address field
either.

The submitting patches document doesn't really describe what to do if
you take patches / collaborate with somebody else or how to credit the
original author. It only deals with the case of a subsystem
maintainers editing the submitters code to fix it up.

All that aside, if somebody has a clear workflow that ensures this
doesn't happen I'm more then willing to follow it.
