Is there currently any way to say "hey, git, show me what commits are
dangling that might be lost in the reflog?"

How do you define dangling commits?

Any commit which I did not explicitly do something with. (Merge, rebase,
amend, branch name, discard)

Today every one of those actions is explicit except discard.

So basically everything that is (1) produced by "git commit", (2) not
connected to any ref and (3) not an amend. I think (1) and (3) can be
achieved with "git log -g --grep-reflog commit: HEAD". We only need to
filter out ones that are connected to some ref. Not sure if that can
be done with script though. Maybe add "--dangling" to "git log -g" to
do such filtering?
