Download the raw patch from lore.kernel.org, apply it with "git am", fix up the commit message with "git commit --amend", add your "Signed-off-by" below the existing one, submit with "git-send-email" or "git format-patch" + "msmtp". That way the commit author remains the same because "git format-patch" includes a "From:" line in the message body which "git am" will interpret as the commit author when the maintainer applies the patch. Your Signed-off-by is necessary to keep the DCO chain intact: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-pa... However, that is now done: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/086b426f44bc24360cc89476fe18d2758a2652af.1596344622.git.lukas@wunner.de/ https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/086b426f44bc24360cc89476fe18d... Thank you for the report.
