Your not the first to suggest it and you probably won't be the last.
It is hard to decide _which_ config variables, if any, should
propagate from the parent. What works for one use-case may not
necessarily work for another.

> How can I set up my submodule?

Probably the easiest thing would be to make your http.proxy
configuration global i.e.

  $ git config --global http.proxy ....

If you don't want to make it a global setting you can setup the
submodule configuration after running init but before running update
i.e.

  $ git submodule init MySubmodule
  $ (cd MySubmodule && git config http.proxy ...)
  $ git submodule update MySubmodule
