What I'd like to use it for is batched appending to a patch series,
e.g. for Linux kernel:
while quilt top
do
echo "Signed-off-by: [email protected]" | quilt header -a
quilt pop
done

How about leaving the behavior of -a as it always was, and creating a
'-i' option that would have the functionality you describe? That way,
there would be no chance of violating existing expectations. I would be
willing to prepare the patch.
