Download the raw patch from lore.kernel.org, apply it with "git am", fix up the commit message with "git commit --amend", add your "Signed-off-by" below the existing one, submit with "git-send-email" or "git format-patch" + "msmtp".
That way the commit author remains the same because "git format-patch" includes a "From:" line in the message body which "git am" will interpret as the commit author when the maintainer applies the patch.
