This is not about your patch at all, but rather that I notice in your
"From" header that your name is doubly rfc2047-encoded. It looks like
this:
From: =?us-ascii?B?PT9VVEYtOD9xP0Nhcmxvcz0yME1hcnQ9QzM9QURuPTIwTmlldG8/?=
=?us-ascii?Q?=3D?= <cmn@xxxxxxxx>
which decodes to the literal string:
=?UTF-8?q?Carlos=20Mart=C3=ADn=20Nieto?=
which in turn decodes again to your proper name.
We made some changes to format-patch's quoting recently, and I want to
make sure this is not a regression. Can you describe your workflow for
sending these patches? What I think probably happened is:
1. format-patch encoded your name because of the non-ascii characters
2. the result was fed literally into mutt via cut-and-paste or
otherwise pulled into the editor, rather than "mutt -f patch-file".
Which is not a regression, but just an annoying behavior that has been
there for a while[1]. But I wanted to double-check.

[1] Probably the solution is to let people with a workflow like that
tell format-patch to give them the literal utf8 instead of encoding the
header.
