This would require pretending that we're authorized to send mail from the
domain name of the commit author, so this unfortunately won't work (and hence
the reason why GGG does it this way). E.g. say you have:

From: foo@redhat.com
Subject: [PATCH] Fix foo

Would it help to use "Sender:"?

You had suggested that before, and I explained why it does not work in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.2008241445200.56@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet/ (local).
The gist is: GMail interferes with your cunning plan.

When GGG or any other automation are trying to send e-mail on behalf of
the person shown on "From:", I thought that it is the mechanism for them
to use to identify themselves.

Ciao,
Dscho
