It doesn't but it could be extended to do something with templates. 
E.g. it could take an option which causes it to print a "description" 
template which users could then modify?

Or, alternatively, the commands (such as "new") that create patches 
could create a patch file (if it doesn't already exist) with the 
description template already in it?
