Predictably, I don't like this idea at all.  How would we explain this
to a new user that is reading over gitconfig(5) for the first time?
It makes the semantics of the committer and author name (that are mostly
meant for giving credit and a contact address) much more murky.

Is it impossible to fix this on the KDE side?  I would think a
many-to-one mapping from committer identities to bugzilla account
names could be a useful thing to have in any case.

Hopeful,
Jonathan
