We only have user.email and user.name because nobody in the past 10+
years had such a requirement, but I find it it a perfectly sensible
thing to wish to say "tagger.email and tagger.name are used while
creating an annotated tag, committer.email and committer.name are
used on the 'committer' line and author.email and author.name are
used on the 'author' line in a newly created commit; by the way, if
any of these are not set, but user.email or user.name is set, then
they are used as fallback values." at the design level.
