s/Nathan/Sasha/

For some reason I thought Nathan backported this and wondered that his
SOB is missing. The correct SOB is actually there.

I don't think Nathan explicitly tried to backport anything.  This
looks to me like AUTOSEL maybe took a commit message from a different
commit, and applied it to this diff.

ie. I don't think this is a bug in a manual backport, I think AUTOSEL
did something funny and created a backport with commit message A but
commit diff B.

Thanks for reporting this! It is indeed a bug with my scripts.

The story here is that we have commit A which references commit B, but
commit B ended up getting merged before commit A, which confused my
scripts. I'll go fix up the stable tree and my scripts.
