The following script is something I used to use years ago on the linux
kernel git commit lists and triggered from procmail:
#!/bin/sh

TMP=`mktemp /tmp/setfrom.XXXXXX`
cat > $TMP

## Old BitKeeper logic
from=`grep '^ChangeSet' $TMP | head -1 | awk '{print $NF}'`

## New git logic
author=`sed -n '/^author /p' < $TMP | head -n 1`
if [ ! -z "$author" ]; then
  from=`echo $author | sed 's/author \(.*>\).*/\1/'`
  date=`echo $author | sed 's/author.*> //'`
fi
if test -n "$from" -a -n "$date"; then
  formail -I "From: $from" -I "Date: `date -d "$date" -R`" < $TMP
else
  if test -n "$from"; then
    formail -I "From: $from" < $TMP
  else
    cat $TMP
  fi
fi

rm $TMP
