For new contributors, that's where I proposed to use some commit message key 
word, so the "old" contributor (as in, registered with identity.kde.org and 
having push rights) who is pushing that commit can flag the author data as 
"new person, I checked validness of author metadata". 

Or are there workflows where also the "committer" (other than the "author" 
metadata) is that of someone not yet registered?
