My scripts definitely do the expected thing.
In git, the author is always in the fixed header, and you never look for it anywhere else. However, in order for the author to _get_ there in the first place, the person who commits the thing needs to haev the author info.
In this case it was me, and I get the author information from the email when I commit an emailed patch. I take it from the first line of the body if that one is a valid "From:" line, and otherwise I fall back to taking it from the headers of the email.
So in this case you got tagged, either because the patch came through Andrew (it has his sign-off) and _he_ sent the email but incorrectly had you as the "From:" person, or alternatively because you sent the email and took Andrew's sign-off but didn't put the "From:" in the right spot.
