Okay, this stirred my particular combination of lazy person and
busybody.  I volunteer to work on modifying the
commit-reading/bug-closing script to take a Bugzilla-Id line into
account when present if the KDE sysadmins are willing to accept such a
modification.  Another possibility would be a table (for example a
plain text file) mapping git identities to bugzilla identities.  Could
you put me in touch with them?

Thanks for your work to improve tools.  I do appreciate it.
