strncpy might not NUL-terminate the string, if the name equals the buf=
fer size.

Use strlcpy instead.

This is weird, with all the patches you submitted last week I get this
if I download the patch from patchwork:

$ git am -s 1.mbox
Patch is empty. Was it split wrong?

But if I download the patch directly from my IMAP folder I have no
problems:

$ git am -s 1.mbox
Applying: b43/leds: Ensure NUL-termination of LED name string

This happens even without my custom patchwork script so this has
something to do with the patchwork server, but it's not obvious to me
what triggers it. IIRC I have not seen anything like this before. It
seems that you didn't use git-send-email, I strongly suggest to use tha=

just to avoid problems like this.
Looks like patchwork mishandles the pgp signature, the patchwork mbox ha=

as the only content-type (and the boundary is nowhere to be found),
while the one in my inbox has

protocol=3D"application/pgp-signature"

--Sig_/EN90ciRq4eWXDUcnZABQ0Ak
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3DUS-ASCII

When I remove the Content-Type: line(s) from the mbox from patchwork,
git recognises it again as a patch. I guess git am ignores everything
until the boundary, which got dropped by patchwork, so it never finds
the actual patch.
Awesome, thanks for debugging this! It would be great if someone could
report this to the patchwork maintainers, I don't have the time right
now.
Silly question, but who *are* the maintainers? I just spend several
minutes on https://patchwork.kernel.org/ and google, and failed to
find any contact information.
