What UI did you have in mind?  Something like "with point on a Git
SHA1 or the result of 'git describe', invoke a command that will
replace those with an action stamp"?  If so, I think it would be nice
to have that, yes.

While at that: what should we do with SHA1 signatures added
automatically by the likes of "git cherry-pick -x"?  Use -xe and
invoke the above hypothetical command?  Something else?
