Nope, it's an old format-patch feature. format-patch generates the 
messages with the From: being the commit author, and my MTA doesn't 
complain about the fact that I'm sending email with some entirely 
different From:. It would probably be more clever to have format-patch use 
the committer or the current user as the From:, and put an additional 
From: in the message body with the author if it's not the email From:.

Of course, you did sort of send that email (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/75743). I just bounced it to the list again with a different subject, some other headers, the note removed, and the patch rebased. Or something like that. I actually didn't expect it to come out looking like you'd sent the email until it showed up (or, rather, until it didn't show up for a little while because vger thought it was odd).
