The 'trailer.<token>.command' config option can already be used to
help with that, for example:

-------
$ git config trailer.sign.key "Signed-off-by: "
$ git config trailer.sign.ifexists replace
$ git config trailer.sign.command "git log --author='\$ARG' -1
--format='format:%aN <%aE>'"
$ git interpret-trailers --trailer sign=Linus<<EOF
subject

body
EOF
subject

body

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
-------

So even without this patch, after your first patch that implements
`git commit --trailer ...`, it should be easy to setup something less
verbose and less error-prone.
