You made me look at the doc and I indeed had never used the reword
option ;) got stuck at pick/squash/edit somehow and that's the edit I
did consider a PITA yes

Without good integration from the checker it is probably a PITA to
figure out that 23 too and also still doesn't help for broken commits
(not messages) that may or may not trigger later conflicts (unless we
decide we don't care about working commits, just working pushes, which
WFM)
