Note that this is not the correct way to submit a patch from someone else.
You should instead use your own name and email address as the sender,
and have "From: John Stultz [off-list ref]" as the first line in
the body of the email. You also need to add your own "Signed-off-by: 
Richard Cochran [off-list ref]" line below the S-o-b from
John.

Using git-send-email plus git-format-patch will gets this right if
the commit was done correctly in your own git tree. If you prefer to
use a different set of tools, you need to watch out for these details
yourself.
