The main question was answered by Ben, so this may be a bit
offtopic, but I'll answer git questions anyway.
The author-name-email, subject, and author-date are taken from
the RFC2822 headers of the e-mail the committer feeds git-am,
but you can override them by having "From: ", "Subject: ", and
"Date: " as the first lines of the message body, like this:
From: "For W. Arder" <[email protected]>
Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2006 11:49:22 +0200
Subject: forwarding patch (was Re: ieee1394)
Message-ID: ...
From: Stefan Richter <[email protected]>
Date: Mon Jun 12 18:16:25 2006 -0400
Subject: eth1394: replace __constant_htons by htons
...and __constant_ntohs, __constant_ntohl, __constant_cpu_to_be32 too
where possible. Htons and friends are resolved to constants in these
places anyway. Also fix an endianess glitch in a log message, spotted
by Alexey Dobriyan.

Note that the latter three header-looking lines are not RFC2822
headers but part of your (eh, Mr Arder's) message body.
