To fix it up:

git commit --amend --author="Foo Bar <address@hidden>"

If you cherry-pick patches in the first place, the author gets preserved
and you can update them as part of git-rebase or do your modifications
using just git commit --amend.

Note that at least one patch was Author: instead of From: and at least
one two From:s.
