The advantage of pull requests is that author information can be
preserved more easily. Running git format-patch results in most patches
having wrong SMTP sender information due to the assumption that the
patch author is the same person also submitting the patch.
So in practise, this would either require changing the From: (and thus
Author) to myself or having most mails eaten by anti-spam measures due
to non-matching SPF which prohibits my SMTP to send mail on behalf of
the original authors of the patches.

How do you suggest to handle this situation?


Cheers


Daniel
