Patchwork gets confused about authorship

Hello,
With recently noticed that patchwork gets confused about the authorship
of some patches.
For example:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/1621475246377.74620@lab126.com/
has Eugen.Hristev set as author, but it was never sent by then. The
original mail can be had on our mailing list:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2021-May/310923.html
which was sent by Chan, Donald. So, when we apply patches, they get the
wrong authorship...
The mbox link (to use with git-am for example), has the wrong From
header:
$ curl -s 'https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/1621475246377.74620@lab126.com/mbox/' |grep -E '^From:'
From: "Eugen.Hristev--- via buildroot" <buildroot at busybox.net>
In the mbox, there is another header (notice that it's on two lines):
X-Patchwork-Original-From: "Chan,
Donald via buildroot" <buildroot at busybox.net>
The issue is also present when requesting the info via the REST API:
$ curl -s 'https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/api/1.2/patches/1481336/' |jq .submitter
{
"id": 80120,
"url": "https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/api/1.2/people/80120/",
"name": "Eugen.Hristev--- via buildroot",
"email": "buildroot at busybox.net"
}
But the From mail header from the REST API is still correct:
$ curl -s 'https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/api/1.2/patches/1481336/' |jq .headers.From
"\"Chan, Donald via buildroot\" <buildroot at busybox.net>"
Any idea? How can we avoid that?
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
