If these are patches from 'git format-patch', you do it by putting your
name in the email From: and the author you want in the commit as a From
header in the very first line of the email. 'git am' will then ignore
the header line in favour of the first-line override. I believe 'git
send-email' should be doing this automatically if your email address is
not the same as the patch author, but I could be wrong...

See the DISCUSSION section in 'man git-am'.
