Not exactly. Git adds those on `git format-patch` if the commit
message in your patch contains other characters than 7 bit us-ascii.
In this case there's an 'ö' in the name in the s-o-b line. This is
also what happens if you recreate a patch series in ptxdist with
`git ptx-patches` and one of the commit messages contains stuff
encoded in utf-8 which does not fit in us-ascii.

You also get such lines if the content (not the commit message) of
your patch contains 8-bit chars and you send it with `git send-email`.
Git (2.20) does not add those lines to the patch on `git format-patch`
though.
