Buildroot patchwork strange Submitter
Hi Jeremy,
The "Submitter" field of some Buildroot patchwork entries over the last few days from different senders is set to "Baruch Siach via buildroot":
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/list/?submitter=82609
Any idea what might be causing that?
Thanks,
baruch

That's because of DMARC mangling in the mailing list (or something like that, I'm no expert): the From field is replaced by the list adress, and thus the patches look like they are all from the same sender, and somehow the name of that sender is arbitrarily chosen... Not sure aboutr the heuristic...
And this time it picked yours. In the past, it picked others' nmaes, and I expect in the future it will pick another one...
As for what happens when the patches are applied: I have a script that fixes this when applying; I think the other maintainers use pwclient or some such, and it is also automatically fixed when applying. Maybe git-am fixes it on its own too?

Yann E. MORIN.

Patchwork now changed the "Submitter" field on these patches to Christian Stewart.
This looks unrelated to the content of the email itself. Take a look at the headers of one of these patchwork entries:
You can see that the 'From' header shows the correct sender:
From: Yair Ben-Avraham via buildroot <[email protected]>
I see the same in this email from my archive.
Still, patchwork previously used my name as "Submitter", and now Christian's. So I think something is wrong with patchwork.

That's not really the correct sender; it's been modified by the list software.

Yep, we try to find the correct sender if the From: header reports the list address as the sender.
However, the buildroot list has changed back-and-forth between [email protected] and [email protected] a couple of times recently. The list address was set to [email protected], which didn't match that 'via' header.
I've since set it to [email protected], so the reverse-dmarc-fix should work again - let me know how it goes.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Yes, sorry about that all of you, it should all be back stable again.
