"From:" headers are properly recognized by Git and both git log and git 
annotate will show the right authorship. Authored-by does not get propagated.

Also, sendmail does not screw up From: headers that are in the body of the 
email - forwarding emails is one of the oldest things that can be done to 
emails.
