Please use --no-chain-reply-to option to "git send-email" for nicer email threading and there is something wrong with Signed-off chain for the patches. The first Signed-off-by: is by Nadav, but you appears to be the author of the patches for git. AFAIK Nadav is the author, so you need to add proper From: in your patch submission. If you'll fix the authorship in your git "git format-patch" will do it for you.
