FWIW I use patchwork.kernel.org and I don't have any issues with UTF-8
characters in the From header. For example, here's one patch which I
recently applied:

https://git.kernel.org/linus/88001968245c

But of course it depends on what tools you use (I have my own patchwork
script which downloads and applies the patch) or what characters there
were etc. 

Also I heard that we should get an upgrade to patchwork.kernel.org in
the near future, which is great. The current version has some quirks
which are quite annoying.
