I suspect you'll move further and faster if you adapt your process to accept changes made to the known_hosts file, rather than attempting to change a plugin to adapt to your desire for minimal changes to the known_hosts file.
I don't find changes to the known_hosts file in the git-client-plugin (which performs core git operations) or in the git-plugin (which provides the high level workflow related operations). Alternately, they may happen as a result of calls from the git-client-plugin to command line git. Which ever of those plugins it is in, they are used by many thousands of Jenkins installations. I suspect the maintainers of those plugins will be hesitant to worry about an optimization of changes to known_hosts compared to the risk of breaking use cases for the many other users of those plugins.
