The config variables were defined in the reproducible.py in oe-core
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/reproducible.py#n243
as follows:
  USERADDEXTENSION = "useradd-staticids"
  USERADD_ERROR_DYNAMIC = "skip"
  USERADD_UID_TABLES += "files/static-passwd"
  USERADD_GID_TABLES += "files/static-group"

We can see the help document in oe-core/meta/conf/documentation.conf:
>USERADDEXTENSION[doc] = "When set to 'useradd-staticids', causes the
 OpenEmbedded build system to base all user and group additions on
 files listed in USERADD_UID_TABLES and USERADD_GID_TABLES."

In the useradd-staticids.bbclass all static-{group,passwd} files in
BBPATH will be searched and merged.

All static-{group,passwd}-meta* file in this layer won't be parsered,
finally when we run the following oe-selftest command with the setting
'OEQA_REPRODUCIBLE_TEST_TARGET = "mariadb",
>$ oe-selftest -r reproducible.ReproducibleTests.test_reproducible_builds"
we will encounter the following error:
$timestamps - oe-selftest - INFO -       ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'mariadb'
$timestamps - oe-selftest - INFO -       mariadb was skipped: Recipe mariadb, package mariadb-setupdb:
system username "mysql" does not have a static ID defined. Add mysql to one of these files: /yocto
/openembedded-core/build-st/meta-selftest/files/static-passwd

The similiar error for postgresql can also been seen.

Here we rename all static-{group,passwd}-meta* to static-{group,passwd}.

Hello,

Initially we had to use different names because we want to use multiple
static-* files in the same build.

On the autobuilder (project CI) [0], we use:
	USERADD_UID_TABLES:append = ' files/static-passwd-meta-gnome'
	USERADD_GID_TABLES:append = ' files/static-group-meta-networking'
	USERADD_UID_TABLES:append = ' files/static-passwd-meta-networking'
	USERADD_GID_TABLES:append = ' files/static-group-meta-oe'
	USERADD_UID_TABLES:append = ' files/static-passwd-meta-oe'

[0]: https://git.yoctoproject.org/yocto-autobuilder-helper/tree/config.json#n330

Would that work for you?
