But the "other people" still have those commits, so it should be
rather straightforward for a tool to also perform a rebase for them
when doing this kind of "rebased pull". I think there's just a single
arc of data missing showing where a rebased commit object came from.

So this sounds solvable, and it is something I would very much enjoy
having, (call me funny, but I prefer to rebase and avoid a merge
commit when looking at independent lines of development for which
logically there shouldn't be any "merge" required).
