I could rewrite the from header to match sahilcdq@...ton.me.

But if I do that you should find a way to get proton.me to work with
gi-send-email [0] for future commits.  It seems this can work using the
Protonmail Bridge[1], though this site also says proton.me is not so good for
using with git send email.

Maybe using another email in signed-off-by would be better.  The current
patches are on linux-next[2] where we can see the From/Signed-off-by mismatch.
For example:

    commit	af83ece87a1ef5097434b7c3c1fc0e9e7b83b192 (patch)

    ...
