The script is WebKitTools/Scripts/commit-log-editor.  Setting one of these environment variables (depending on whether you're using svn or git) works great (replace "$WEBKIT_SRC_DIR" with the path to your webkit source, or just set them to "commit-log-editor" if you've added WebKitTools/Scripts to your PATH):

GIT_EDITOR=$WEBKIT_SRC_DIR/WebKitTools/Scripts/commit-log-editor
SVN_EDITOR=$WEBKIT_SRC_DIR/WebKitTools/Scripts/commit-log-editor

You'll also want to set the EDITOR environment variable unless you use vi to edit your svn/git commit logs.  :)
