git-add-ChangeLogs script would be useful

I'm finding myself doing the same operation over and over again as I go through
the patches on bug 16036 for landing.  I'm going through a rebase -i trunk and
"edit"-ing each of my changes to have a ChangeLog with reviewer.  It would be
really nice if there was a way to do this programatically, by passing a command
some text file all at once.  For example.  If I could run:

get-add-ChangeLogs trunk

and it would open up my $EDITOR with a modified version of the -i "pick" file,
where I could also specify reviewers and whether I wanted to stop and edit the
ChangeLog, that would be great!

Then it could just go through and do all the changelog additions for me,
stopping only when needed.

Curious what other git users think.
