On mercurial, the -hg user and the author should be the same person. Since we want to identify the patch origin (e.g. whose v4l/dvb maintainer got the patch), we use the internal "user" meta-tag as the committer, and an extra tag, at the patch description for the author (From:). When creating the -git patch, the "From:" tag is replaced, by script, for "Author:", I add my SOB there, and, I add myself as the -git committer (on git we have both meta-tags).
