I agree with Radek here; first try to remove your entire Host
*.kde.org directive in .ssh/config and see if that solves it. 'git' is
the username that should always be used. But I think command line
username should override that though.

Have you tried ssh -vvv git at git.kde.org ? Maybe the verbose output
from ssh when connecting gives any clues about the problems.
