A bit different, but there is an extension that enables "supplementing" additional non-modifiable edit summaries: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RevisionCommentSupplement It was contributed (without a Bugzilla request) by Burthsceh, a volunteer at Japanese Wikipedia, prompted by the necessity to fix attributions made in edit summaries (for reused texts). [1] I don't think it has been extensively reviewed, though. With that approach, you could effectively modify an edit summary by appending a modified one and rev-deleting the original one.
