As I've mentioned before on the list, I don't use git-send-email, but rather a home-grown script that interacts more closely with my regular MUA. After embarrassing myself on multiple occasions by its inability to automatically handle sending patches by other authors, I decided to implement send-email's "stick the original author in a body header" scheme.
However, doing it right is kind of tricky due to rfc822 quoting, rfc2047 encoding, and handling non-ascii names correctly. Instead, this patch series takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch to do the transformation itself, so that it can be used by my script along with any other non-send-email workflows that exist (e.g., git-imap-send suffers from the same problem).
