I did able add the header to the email, it worked if you gave the '--add-header'
to "git format-patch" and send that patch, instead of using "git send-email"
directly:
http://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/20200603130005.3709131-1-ferruh.yigit@intel.com/raw
X-Patchwork-Delegate: ferruh.yigit@intel.com

But it didn't show up in the patchwork, not sure why.

Also this way is not a good solution, instead of the sender of the patch
delegating, this should be automated in the server side. I think option a) above
is the way to go.
