Hot take: The email workflow for git is VASTLY overrated.
Sending your patch over email means that you're not the one who's registered as the committer, and that's not great. Let me commit and then you /pull from us./ It doesn't have to be a web-PR-based workflow, but /pull/ the changes, don't send them through patch files that WILL mess up things like attribution (to an extent; you're still recorded as the author), dates, and commit hashes.
Yes, we just tested this and it does mess up the committer information (by design; that's presumably what the separate committer information is for in the first place) and it DOES mess up the hash.
