thanks for the patch.

I strongly dislike keeping the header in a separate file. This can only cause 
trouble.

The header templates and comments are a nice idea. One possible extension 
would be to always add the comments when editing, and to remove them when 
saving. This would require a structured header format that is less general, 
though.

This is all pretty policy dependent. I've mentioned before that I'm not keen 
on dragging too much policy into quilt, so I'll definitely not blindly add 
this command. This could easily discuss users who would otherwise find quilt 
pretty useful.

Maybe it's time for adding some "extras" or "add-ons" that can be 
configure-enabled?
