I haven't checked whether this is actually possible, but I imagine it is with some work. I think it would be a valuable feature to add, but I don't think anyone's planning on working on it. Would you be willing to send a patch? Even if many people think it's a good idea, we're all busy, and thus it'll only be implemented if someone is willing to pick it up.

In the meantime, you could try setting `GIT_EDITOR=:` in your environment (for example, using an alias) like so:

[alias]
  rncontinue = "!f() { GIT_EDITOR=: git rebase --continue; };f"

and that can serve as a workaround.
