I agree. There's a more common case: the submitter sends a patch with some
fantasy name, like "media contributor". The maintainer asks the guy to
re-submit the patch with his real name (as required on Kernel rules).

The new patch then comes with the correct name, but patchwork insists
on preserving for the eternity the broken one, forcing the maintainer
to always fix patches from that contributor.

I got a few of those cases already.
