You could probably help getting closer to a solution by:

* Not dropping Cc's all the time.  I saw this email just by chance.

* Stating *why* this cannot be solved in any other way on the KDE
  end.  So far you only said

  My gut feeling is that a footer line in the commit along the lines
  of

    Bugzilla-Id: Registered Name <registered.email@example.com>

  would work.  I suspect others have a similar feeling.  A good case
  why this is not a feasible solution for (presumably) border cases
  like you would help get rid of it.

  with (ideally better) ideas of what the semantics should be.  My
  assessment is that it either conflicts with user expectations or
  with established git-config mechanisms of how the various files
  override each other.
