I think that's not entirely accurate. It sort of works for most cases
from a single file. But it opens a ChangeLog file, not a commit entry,
which is really odd. And it has many other special behaviors (e.g.
doesn't regenerate entries if the code changes).

But it could open a *mode* where users can interact with the commit
message, as you and Clément suggested.
