Isn't it too late to remind when the log-edit buffer is open? Normally,
you create ChangeLog entries first (and they should include the right
author), only then open the vc-dir buffer, mark the files and then see
the log-edit buffer.

It would be better, but since dir-locals overrides personal
customizations, it wouldn't be ideal either, as far as I'm concerned.

True. But is it relevant to the question of whether to include the
Summary and Author headers by default?
Another problem with Summary, I believe, is that it's often unused in
Emacs commit messages.

Not sure which thread, or which commands you mean. But `C-e' works well
enough for moving after "Summary:".

Since bury-buffer doesn't have a default binding in log-edit, I think
that's not much of a problem. But we can follow Magit's (and
message-mode's) example and create a command that would do the burying
the smart way (and bind it to C-c C-k).

I'd rather we fix it than hide it. Another approach would be to instead
of creating a separate buffer and window, output its text at the bottom
of the log-edit buffer. And either make it a read-only-not-real text, or
comment it out somehow and remove that section before the commit is made.
