It's also a factor of how strict your ISP is about DMARC handling; the
list automatically rewrites the 'From:' header to insert the 'via
Qemu-devel' tag if it detects DMARC settings at your ISP that won't
allow your email through as originally written.  Sadly, mailman doesn't
know to insert a manual 'From:' line in the body when it rewrites the
original From: header; but if you know that DMARC settings are going to
munge your original header, you can probably convince git to always
insert an explicit From: line in the message body to override whatever
munging the list does.

You can also submit a patch against .mailmap so that existing
submissions with the suspect data will at least be credited to the
correct address for the purposes of crawling through git history.
