Oops, I'm sorry. I didn't see the extra From line.
SubmittingPatches says that the From line should be provided:
The ``from`` line must be the very first line in the message body,
and has the form:
From: Original Author <author@xxxxxxxxxxx>
It does say:
If the ``from`` line is missing, then the ``From:`` line from the email
header will be used to determine the patch author in the changelog.
But it doesn't convey the same spirit as "we sometimes allow".
