Your username is a substring of your first name and the query is not case-sensitive. send-pr uses the first part of the GCOS field (full name) as default value for Originator. Most people don't change the value. If you query the PR database, the search string will be matched against this value. [send-pr 3.2 on -current] The confusion is caused by the output of the search script: it reports the contents of the mail's From: field as "originator". In David's case, searching for gilbert, david gilbert or any substring of it will display his PRs. Somebody should fix query-pr.cgi to a) report the "real" originator b) report "Sent in by: " instead of "Originator:" c) both. This could be useful to deal with PRs sent in by organisations.
