Patchwork now changed the "Submitter" field on these patches to
Christian Stewart.

This looks unrelated to the content of the email itself. Take a look at
the headers of one of these patchwork entries:

  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/RnUd7kxUKLWeLZSMoM1dFtpAD4Qfe3R-67gu27eAGtE6yrgC1oHzq1GwiOoE9Gmk6uZZ-c6k6LUVxdMqKhUro4_bM4zZKPhsbN5e9BV8SV4=@protonmail.com/

You can see that the 'From' header shows the correct sender:

  From: Yair Ben-Avraham via buildroot <buildroot@buildroot.org>

I see the same in this email from my archive.

Still, patchwork previously used my name as "Submitter", and now
Christian's. So I think something is wrong with patchwork.
