Unexpected Git commit author

I have a fork of a public project in my GitHub account, and I created a new branch from my repo master in Intellij. I applied a patch with the changes I needed, committed and pushed to my branch. However, the commit author name that appeared in history was not mine, was followed by an asterisk, and the tooltip said "other name via my name ". Any ideas what could have caused it and how to fix/prevent it in the future?

GitHub has some info about this. I remember this happening to me; I think it's a known issue.
