I'm going to advocate my change of only searching on the email address
for finding the key - there shouldn't be two keys with the same email
address anyway, so there shouldn't be a danger of ambiguity of key.

There very well might be... say you have a key for signing git stuff,
another one for emailing, another one for signing RPMs you create, ... I
believe that is the idea of the GPG comment field, precisely.

Either way, you're arguing for the fault being with Git - which has no notion 
of comment fields and so won't find the key anyway.
