It's to do with how I generate the patch set and submit it to my MTA.
The result is that the header fields contain an =F6.  Almost all MTAs
accept this despite it being questionable, but zmailer is extra fussy
and rejects this - and rejected the messages to lkml, netdev, etc.

Normally, the MUA would encode "S=F6ren Brinkmann" in a header into a
7-bit ascii representation as "=3D?utf-8?B?U8O2cmVu?=3D Brinkmann".

It's one of the many issues of not using a MUA to send out patches.

It's also worth noting that git-send-email misses out mime headers
(or used to - which is why I have my own scripts for doing this)
which technically makes the bodies it mails out in violation of the
RFCs.
