b4 submission endpoint sender name length
Hello!
I've used b4 v0.12/v0.12.1 to submit kernel work to linuxppc-dev over the last couple weeks and it's working very well for me. I have been using the web submission endpoint.
When I checked with the powerpc maintainer (cc'd) to see if my new workflow was causing any issues for him, the only less-than-positive feedback I got was that the sender name set by the endpoint:
Nathan Lynch via B4 Submission Endpoint
feels a bit long and sticks out in the patchwork UI. Could this be shortened? Perhaps "via B4 web" or similar?

Thank you for the feedback, I've shortened it to "B4 Relay". It won't help in your case, since the patchwork name is set at user record creation time and is then never changed even if the From: changes, but it will help others.
