Your MUA seems to mark the UTF-8 message you are sending out as
8859-1, which means your name in the message gets corrupt.

Hm, that would be git-send-email then, anything I need to configure?
(Actually I don't see it marking the message as anything)

I believe that the issue is with Junio's mail client. Indeed, the
context encoding for the mail *body* was specified as 8859-1, but
that should have none effect on fields in the mail header, because
any field is the header should be either printable ASCII or encoded
to contain only ASCII characters as specified in RFC 1522:

encoded-word = "=?" charset "?" encoding "?" encoded-text "?="

Here is the From field from the mail:

From:	=?utf-8?q?Bj=C3=B6rn=20Steinbrink?= <redacted>

So, as far as I can tell, it is encoded properly using utf-8.
