Wish: make commiter email address configurable per-repo

Hi,

In KDE the committer email address is used to be able to use keywords in commit messages to automatically close bugs.

If my email address that I use for committing is not the same as that configured in the bugzilla, the automated bug closing does not work.

So for some git repos in KDE which I work on on work time, I'd like to set a different committer address. I can't just set GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL or whatever in my bashrc, because in other repos I want to use a different committer email, and don't want it set globally for all git repos I work on.

This doesn't seem to be configurable in git config. Can that be changed?
All the best,
Steve.
