The way you marked your 3/3 with a From: line in the body of the message
is the preferred way to say "David forwards a patch from Sebastian", and
our patch application tool knows about it.

If you wanted to preserve the original author date, you could have also
added a Date: line in-body ("David forwards a patch from Sebastian, who
created it at this date in this timezone").  You can find an earlier
example in:
