They seem seriously buggered.

Patches that seem to be authorted by others (judging by sign-off) have no
such attribution. And because you apparently use some sh*t-for-emailer,
the patches that _are_ yours are missing your name, because it just says

From: npiggin@suse.de

without any "Nick Piggin" there.

I'd suggest fixing your emailer scripts regardless, but a "From: " at the
top of the body would fix both the attribution to others, and give you a
name too.

PLEASE. Missing authorship attribution is seriously screwed up. Don't do
it.
