Would it help to use the "Sender:" header? IIUC right now GGG records its name on "From:" with its e-mail and a human-readable name derived from the author of the ptach, but if it can record the true author on "From:" and leave GGG's name on the "Sender:", would patchwork use the "From:" side of the identity instead?
If that works, it would have an additional benefit of not having to add the in-body "From:" to override the mail-header "From:", to avoid attributing the authorship to GGG.
