StGIT's default patch email template has both "From: %(maintainer)s"

the e-mail body. Why?
Ah, I just figured it out. "maintainer" is the person sending the
mail, and "author" is the person who wrote the patch. In general, they
are not the same.

Hmm. It would be nice to omit the second From: in case they really are
the same.
