I encourage people to do that for the kernel ("From:" in particular),
because while git-am will pick them up from the email headers, that is
only true if the emails don't get passed around and commented upon by
others.
Now, in git, the chain-of-command is very short (everybody -> Junio), so
it really doesn't matter, but in the kernel, when people send out patches
like this, the patches may be forwarded by others (who add their sign-off
lines etc), and then it's really good to have that "From:" line in
particular in the body of the email, because it's more likely that it will
remain there (otherwise we depend on the person who signs off and forwards
it to add it!)
