I kinda like Stefan's method better too.
It ("Stefan's method") seems much more flexible, albeit maybe a little
more open to risk from the user fiddles where he shouldn't have.
I also agree with Stefan that it's somewhat more "emacsy", as it
leverages ordinary text in a buffer instead of hidden magic. Like other
such cases I think it will thus tend to appeal more to experienced users
and maybe scare off noobs a bit; but since I am an experienced user, I'd
prefer flexibility and transparency. As for the noobs, I think they win
in the long run, even if they're a bit put off in the short run, because
the relative transparency of such a mechanism makes it easier for them
to do more advanced things without getting tripped up by some hidden
behind-the-scenes mechanism.
A dedicated "vc-append" (or whatever) command which sets up the log
buffer appropriately with a pre-stuffed message and appropriate
meta-data seems a reasonable thing to me, but I really like the use of
the log buffer itself to hold all meta-data.

p.s. Actually I don't know if it was Stefan that actually came up with
that method originally, but anyway, you get the idea.......
