This sounds very much like a file :-)

I just put messages in ChangeLog with C-x 4 a , vc-dir automatically
pulls those into the commit message, and then any subsequent amending
I do via magit's commit interface.

It would be nice if the 'C' command in magit worked better, I donʼt
think it has a 'apply to all diffs' mode.
