I (and many others) use git send-email, so it can't be directly to 
blame.  I've never used it with an explicit patch file like that, 
though, only ‘-<n>’, but that should change little.

You shouldn't bother too much with Mailgun & the like, this has 
nothing to do with Protonmail.

Looks like us.  It's by design.  Mailing lists *have to* change 
email addresses now.  If gnu.org sent out mail to mi^Whundreds of 
Guix users claiming to be directly from you:

  From: Ryan Prior <rprior@protonmail.com>

it would amount to a poor forgery in this age of DMARC & DKIM. 
We'd be spamholed into oblivion by every recipient who doesn't go 
through extra (manual/heuristic) trouble to whitelist known MLs. 
And rightly so.

So instead we munge the From header[0], with a note to make 
receivers aware of that fact:

  From: Ryan Prior via Guix-patches via <guix-patches@gnu.org>
  Resent-From: Ryan Prior <rprior@protonmail.com>

But this happens to every mail we resend, not only yours:

  From: Leo Famulari <leo@xxx>
  Resent-From: Leo Famulari <leo@xxx>

I can't say what went wrong, only that I routinely apply patches 
from Guix MLs through mu4e and ‘git am’ without trouble.  I think. 
The last ~dozen patches signed off by me seem fine, at least.

Leo, does this happen to any guix-patch@ or just Ryan's?

No and no.  Sorry.

We also can't use .mailmap to rewrite the user-facing address. 
We'd be mapping all of guix-patches@gnu.org to you.

I can't think of a way to fix the past.  It's unfortunate, but 
we'll live.

Kind regards,

[0]: We (Mailman?) get this part wrong, however: ‘Fu Barian via 
<beep@gnu.boop>’ looks cute, but it abuses the format & clutters 
address books everywhere with the bogus name ‘Fu Barian via’.
