I guess my patches would then fail your requirements ;-)

Anyway, Fushuai, you can add to the top of your commit:

From: Fushuai Wang <wangfushuai@xxxxxxxxx>

and that will make the From and SoB match without having to change your
mail client. I usually have that. Because Linus doesn't like my patches
having my company name in it for the "author" but I have it in the SoB to
give credit to the one paying me to do the work.
