This can be easily detected: if the patch author didn't opt-out, he, 
and the others who signed the v1 patch will receive a notification when it
gets any status change.

Also, when the patch gets merged on my tree, the author will receive 
another email.

So, a fake submission can easily be detected.

Cheers,
