Random submitter change in Freedesktop Patchwork

The freedesktop Patchwork seems to have a "feature" where in some cases the
submitter for a series changes randomly to a person who did not actually
submit a version of the series.

Not sure but this changed submitter seems to be a maintainer:

------------------------------------------------
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/108156/

Original submission by badal.nilawar at intel.com and subsequent submissions
by me (ashutosh.dixit at intel.com) but current submitter is
jani.nikula at linux.intel.com.

For the above series I believe the submitter changed at v7 where perhaps a
rebuild or a retest was scheduled (not sure if Jani did it and that changed
something) but the build failed at v7. Also note root msg-id's for v6 and
v7 are the same.
------------------------------------------------
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/108091/

Original submission by me (ashutosh.dixit at intel.com) but current submitter
is rodrigo.vivi at intel.com.

Similarly here submitter seems to have changed at v3 where again the build
failed. Also note root msg-id's for v2 and v3 are the same.
------------------------------------------------

The problem this change of submitter causes is that if the actual original
submitter wants to schedule a retest they cannot do it using the retest
button.

Thanks.
