Patchwork can incorrectly assign ownership. See https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/12680/The author is Sam John as identified by Message ID as well as the From field in the headers, yet Patchwork attributes this patch to "Oliver Collyer via ffmpeg-devel", a name which appears nowhere in the headers or in the submitted patch. The downloaded mbox patch shows the same wrong attribution.

This happens due to Mailman having to rewrite peoples E-Mail addresses if they have strong DKIM/DMARC configured on their sending Domain. If that is the case, only the server of the actual Domain who owns the right private key can send E-Mails under the name of that Domain.
So for mailing lists to be able to send on the messages, they are forced to change the sender address.
In the case of this list: Sam John <samj...@google.com> gets translated to. Sam John via ffmpeg-devel <ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org>Nothing can be sensibly done about this, cause the alternative would be the message getting rejected by the majority of Mailservers. It's unfortunate that this also messes with the patches. People who are affected should probably attach patches instead of using send-email.
