Today i wanted to commit https://phabricator.kde.org/D4432 since the person 
that opened it does not have a developer account.

Easy peasy, it's just a line, i download the patch and then

git commit --author ...

and what, it says "Authored by rikmills" that's probably not the guys name, 
but i can click on the name and on https://phabricator.kde.org/p/rikmills/ i 
learn he is Rik Mills, good.

$ git commit --author=="Rik Mills"
fatal: --author 'Rik Mills' is not 'Name <email>' and matches no existing 
author

ouch, so i need his email, where do i get it?

Nowhere it seems.

I resorted to searching for it in identity.kde.org but i think that i can only 
do that because i have some special power over there that allows me to see 
everyone's email, and even if everyone can, it's very cumbsersome, and 
probably what i would end up doing is asking in Differential, the author would 
have to answer, potentially either him or me forgetting about it.

On reviewboard it was as simple as going to 
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/users/rikmills/ (that i just realized i could 
have used instead of identity :D but it's going away so it's not a solution 
either).
