However, I could imagine that we actually want this to be more extensible.
After all, all you are doing is to introduce a new rebase -i command that
does nothing else than shelling out to a command.

Yup, I tend to agree.

Adding "sign" feature (i.e. make it pass -S to "commit [--amend]")
may be a good thing, but adding "sign" command to do so is not a
great design.

I'm not sure what you mean by "feature" here, but it reminded me of
Michael's proposal to allow options to todo lines:

  http://public-inbox.org/git/530DA00E.4090402@alum.mit.edu/

which would allow:

  pick -S 1234abcd

If that's what you meant, I think it is a good idea. :)

Yes, by "feature" I meant "giving the ability to decide if the
resulting commit gets signature", which can and should be orthogonal
to the choice of using editor to reword the message when the commit
is created or "--no-edit" is passed and the original message is used
verbatim.
