Have you looked at the new --fixup options in 2.32? E.g.:

  git commit --fixup reword:HEAD~2

will immediately drop you in an editor to adjust the commit message. The result is a new "fixup" commit which is then applied when you autosquash. So you could do multiple such adjustments, and then:

  GIT_EDITOR=: git rebase -i --autosquash

to apply them all to the appropriate spots.
