instead get put into the SCM headers.
It may be worth having a definitive and unambiguous Author: tag then,
which can appear among Signed-off-by:s and is used in preference to
anything else. From: is a useful heuristic which seems to work well in
general, but as you say, it gets a bit hairy when you have something
which means different things to different parts of the software stack at
the same time.
