I had thought about the possibility of something like this since we (a)
already have lots of `%(trailer)`-related pretty formatting options, and
(b) support grouping by pretty formatted-commits with the
`--group=format:<format>` option I introduced via c112d8d9c2 (Merge
branch 'tb/shortlog-group', 2022-10-30).
