`git config --global user.email "needs to be the same email as registered on bugs.kde.org"`
* I've also registered a separate email address just for this and generated a gpg key for it:
`gpg --generate-key` (as usual) and then the super scary `gpg --export-secret-keys -a <keyID> > filename.asc` part for importing into thunderbird (delete `filename.asc` afterwards immediately!!!!!)
