The signoff is part of commit message, but the author name is part of 
commit metadata. I.e. as it stands, if these patches are applied, the 
commit message says i am the author, but the actual commit metadata says 
it's you.

Use "git show --pretty=fuller" to see who is the author and who is the 
committer of each commit. To fix each commit, do an interactive rebase, 
stop after each commit (i.e. mark each commit as "edit") and do

git commit --amend --author="Author Name <email at address.com>"

(this is a brute force way - a "smarter" way would be to use git 
filter-branch, but IMO it's overkill unless you do that often and 
already have all necessary scripts ready and set up :) )
