)I have tried various combinations of last-bottom-spacing, markup-
)markup- spacing etc, but nothing seems to have any influence on the
)space between the footnote and the copyright markup.

)The space from the footnote to the copyright notice is even smaller than

)tagline is the normal spacing (but in my case still too small, so I need to
)increase that, too).

Can use an additional markup in your copyright so that you use '\center-column' 
with a blank line " " markup before the actual copyright and this adds a line 
of white space. I use this method to 'hold back' the last staff from being too 
close to my taglines.

tagline = \markup { \center-column { "" ""   "This is my tagline" } }

I realise that might not be ideal but I think it would work.
