I kept digging and noticed something interesting. Pretty obvious,
but... all above URLs link to the patchwork.kernel.org.

Now, if you take a look at different patchworks it looks... OK!

1) patchwork.linux-mips.org
http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/8661/
http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/8662/

2) patchwork.ozlabs.org
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/426296/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/429792/

In all above patches my name isn't malformed.


Do you have any idea what does it mean? Is patchwork.kernel.org using
some old version of patchwork, or is its configuration broken?
