Don't know if its patchwork tool doing this. Usual author line in my git objects : Author: Santosh Shilimkar But the commits going via your tree seems to be like below.. Author: email-id Few more examples of the commits end of the email. Can this be fixed for future commits ? The git objects you pulled from my tree directly have right author format where as ones which are picked from patchworks seems to be odd.
