`savehist-additional-variables' is explicitly reserved for users to add
stuff to, so I don't think it'd be appropriate for log-edit.el to add
anything to it.
But we could add a new variable, say `savehist-variables', that as a
default value could be
(log-edit-comment-ring)
and anything else the Emacs maintainers think could be saved by default.
Opinions?
