I understand, but you can have a separate "From line" in your patch,
i.e. you send the patch using one address, and have an extra "From
line" (outside of the mail header) with another address.

That other From line will be interpreted as the author address, and
it should match your SoB address.


Try something like this in a branch where this patch is the HEAD:

        % export MY_COMMIT=$(git show -s --pretty=%h HEAD)
        % git reset HEAD^
        % GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT='Nikolaus Voss <nikolaus.voss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>' \
          GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT='Nikolaus Voss <nikolaus.voss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>' \
          git commit -a -C $MY_COMMIT

Then:

        % git format-patch HEAD^
        % git send-email ...

thanks,
