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.
