in the last stable version (1.7.6.4), when I perform a
git-cherry-pick, the initial author of the patch is erased whith my
name (it was not the case in version 1.7.3.4 and prior). Is this
behavior intended ? Is there an option to keep the initial author of
the patch?

I can't reproduce your problem:

   git init repo&&
   cd repo&&
   echo content>file&&  git add file&&  git commit -m base&&
   echo changes>>file&&
   git commit --author='Other Person<other@xxxxxxxxxxx>' -a -m other&&
   git tag other&&
   git reset --hard HEAD^&&
   git cherry-pick other

gives this output for the cherry-pick:

   [master 6eb207f] other
    Author: Other Person<other@xxxxxxxxxxx>
    1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

and the resulting commit looks good:

   $ git log -1 --format='%an<%ae>'
   Other Person<other@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Does the script above work for you? If so, then what is different about
your problematic case?
Here is my sequence. I'm in a linux tree with a remote that point to linus tree and I want to cherry-pick a patch from this remote:

# git cherry-pick 3f78d1f210ff89af77f042ab7f4a8fee39feb1c9
[dev 87ce387] drivers/net/usb/asix.c: Fix unaligned accesses
 1 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)
# git log -1 --format='%an<%ae>'
Nicolas Dichtel<nicolas.dichtel@xxxxxxxxx>
# git log -1 --format='%an<%ae>' 3f78d1f210ff89af77f042ab7f4a8fee39feb1c9
Neil Jones<NeilJay@xxxxxxxxx>

Maybe it is related to the problem I've reported in another thread:
