It was always like this for patches that came through me. Greg's script
generates an explicit "From:" line in the patch, but I never saw the
value in that since git does the right thing by looking at the "From:"
line in the mail header.

The right thing is being done in stable-rc and for the releases. For
your example here, this is how it looks like in the stable-rc tree:

   drm/nouveau: Don't WARN_ON VCPI allocation failures

Yeah, we should fix your scripts to put the explicit From: line in here
as we are dealing with patches in this format and it causes confusion at
times (like now.)  It's not the first time and that's why I added those
lines to the patches.

Heh, didn't think anyone cared about this scenario for the stable-rc
patches.

I'll go add it.

But... why do you actually care?
