AFAIU, git send-email literally just runs format-patch, and sends the result (with said optional annotation) over SMTP. I'm not sure what difference this makes as far as authorship authenticity is concerned? The From field used by git send-email is literally the From field set by git format-patch. Really, the only differences that I can see between format-patch and send-email are - for contributors, no need to whip out a mail client and fiddle with attachments, - for maintainers, no need to scan the mail for attachments; just pipe the mail itself to git am. Apologies if I'm missing anything.
