I would think post-applypatch hook is the right place to do this.
The hook has access to the incoming message in $GIT_DIR/rebase-apply
directory ('next' records the message number in the series, and then
you have individual pieces of e-mails separated out into 0001, 0002,
etc. you can read from), and "HEAD" already points at the result of
applying the patch.

Peek 'post-applypatch' on my 'todo' branch for inspirations.
