My worry with editing a commit at push time is, the user's local repository
now no longer matches upstream.  One would hope a rebase would intelligently
handle it, but from a configuration management perspective I don't think
modifying commits behind the user's back is a very sane thing.

Now, if you did this locally at commit time rather than push time, I think
that would be less crazy, but unfortunately a clone can't bring along hooks
