[digiKam-users] How best to temporarily remove People exif data

I usually strip out certain tags and data before sharing/uploading
photos. Geotagged data is quite easy using exiftool on the command line.
I'm a bit stumped with People.
I've considered:
1. Removing any People tags before exporting.
2. Exporting and trying to work out an exiftool command to remove on the
command line.
I was looking at dK's export to Smugmug option but couldn't see anything
there. Also, I prefer exporting to a local storage and uploading that
way as I feel more in control and it doesn't tie up dK for the duration
of the upload.
Option 2 is my preferred route but I'm still at the research stage.
Perhaps a list of tags in a flat file, or ideally specifying a single
top-level tag (People) that would work on the whole hierarchy. I'll
continue researching but rather than re-invent the wheel I wonder if
anyone else does this and has a one-liner.
Thanks
