the way the series appear looks odd, because it wasn't threaded or
even ordered, and the patches from Jonas seem to have been sent out
by you under his name.  Can you resend them carefully threaded, all
mails from you with the additional from header for resends?

Ouch. I'm sorry about the ordering/threading. I (wrongly) assumed that if I
just send the mails in order, that suffices. I'll try to fix that in v2.

W.r.t. "from": Most of the patches were originally created by Jonas. I
touched some in order to apply review suggestions or make some small fixes.
But some stayed identical to Jonas' version and I didn't want to strip him
of authorship. I used git format-patch to produce the mails and the commit
author was propagated to the from header.

What is the proper way when I am not the author?

Send the actual mail as from you, and put another From: line for
the original author into the mail body as the first non-empty line.
