Well, it seems like there are two use cases:

1. Verify that an someone with commit access has their git set up correctly \
(e.g. don't use work identify for KDE). For this we can verify against the \
info on file at identity.kde.org 2. Verify that a patch from a more casual \
contributor has appropriate correct authorship information. The contributor \
responsible for reviewing and/or landing the patch is currently expected to \
do this.

It seems like the hookscript can catch the first case, but the second one \
will be in the hands of a human.
