I agree that gbp never promised looking at the ~/.devscripts file.
But maybe devscripts is the place you should also consider looking at.
Quoting the manpage.
==================
Several scripts of the devscripts suite use the following
environment variables. Check the man page of individual
scripts for more details on how the variables are used.
DEBEMAIL
Email of the person acting on a given Debian package via
devscripts.
DEBFULLNAME
Full name (first + family) of the person acting on a given
Debian package via devscripts.
==================
The default git config is global. I definitely can customize each git
repo with a custom setting. But consider gbp's use case. It is mostly
going to be used for Debian packaging. Hence, instead of referring to
the global git config for a user, you might want to consider looking a
more debian specific home.
