It is send-email that carefully shows monotonically increasing
timestamps so that the sender's datestamp can be used for sorting by
the recipient, not format-patch, which records author-date,
primarily meant for local replaying, in the generated messages but
discarded by send-email.

Both good points to point at a simpler and better solution, I guess.
