Worse, if he doesn't catch this, that's harder to fix afterwards. You should be able to fix this by running: git config --global sendemail.from "ezhilarasanx.s@intel.com" This should add a "From" field to the sent patch which "git am" should be able to match with your name. At least this worked for me. See https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded#Sending_using_git-send-email Could you try to send an update (don't hesitate to send a private one to me first)?
