See how the e-mail message was formatted in that thread.  I just ran
"am" on it (which makes me responsible for committing), and the
authorship comes from the "From:" that was in the body.  I suspect
he may have based the patch on some of the "how about doing it like
so" suggestions I made during an earlier discussion and wanted to
give me credit for the input, but I do not remember the context the
patch was originally written in X-<.
