I'm using a local hack that does something like that (used in GNU ELPA
where we don't use a ChangeLog file). I don't like it very much, tho,
because you don't get to work on it "slowly" (i.e. you can't really
save it).

The thing I like better is:
- C-x 4 a as usual into the usual ChangeLog file.
- Let C-c C-a copy the ChangeLog contents back into the *VC-Log* buffer.
Just don't include the ChangeLog file in the VCS, so it's not committed,
not merged, not nothing: it's only used as a scratchpad to write your
commit message at your own pace.
But, I do wonder what people use to temporarily store the commit message
while they're working on it. For GNU Arch, there was a standard file
name for that (with "tla commit" would then read).
