That would most likely require running all core parsers. Not sure if using
parser functions like {{fullurl:}} should be parsed. I would vote "No", since
they are often used in summaries to perhaps explain things.
The last thing we want is having to use <nowiki> in an edit summary.

True, the edit summary can't be edited. So perhaps we should only allow
external links in log entries (which limites the exposure) and not in edit
summaries.

On the other hand, now that RevisionDelete is well-integrated. This would be a
great usecase for the sysop version of revisiondelete (hiding an edit summary
that contains spam).

So parsing plain external links (ie. not [http://link linktext] but just plain
simple external links) in all edit summaries and external links is a good idea
imho. (Just like normal [[links]] are parsed as well)
