   Why not customize the extraction function only for backends that need it?

This does that, no?  If you don't have get-log-entry, then things work
as previously.

   The backend command could be called 'extract-comment'. Which is somewhat 
   different from "log entry" because the latter seems to include the 
   headers, in VC parlance.


   And you haven't explained thus far your plan for implementing 
   'modify-change-comment' for e.g. Git.

I have no plans on implementing such functionality for git.
