Public bug reported:

In the past a patch was submitted to have the unprivileged user calling
'sudo etckeeper' being reported as the commit author instead of root.
This involved using SUDO_USER instead of USER when calling the undelying
VCS command. This appear to be implemented only for 'etckeeper commit'.
My workflow more frequently involves calling 'etckeeper vcs add/commit'
to separate logically different changes and for documentation purpose. I
can try to propose a patch for this but hints are welcome to focus on
the right place to implement such a change. Reporting here because I use
etckeeper (0.52) with Ubuntu server (11.04) but looking at upstream
code, no related changes result in the repo.
