Patch suggested by Linus (authored, actually - replace my signoff if that's not appropriate, please).
When the patch author is not the message sender, the message (commit log entry) would normally begin with "From: Author <author@xxxxxxxxxxx>". That way, 'git am' will automatically attribute the commit to the actual author instead of the message sender. 'git send-email' should generate the extra From: line automatically if you set the authorship on the commit appropriately (e.g. using 'git commit --reset-author').
