how about also adding the reverse: when a file is ignored then add it to
the .gitignore file for 'un-ignoring' (the '!' pattern)

I'm not convinced each and everything should have a menu entry. Advanced use of .gitignore should have a .gitignore editor. When we have that the option could perhaps launch the editor automatically if it recognized no-trivial ignore rules. For trivial cases it would just append to the file.

I don't know of any other SCM that allows you to un-ignore files in the way that Git does; my guess is that most people wouldn't miss it if it weren't there. A .gitignore customised editor is probably overkill too - after all, you can just open it up in a text editor and make changes yourself. I've amended a few .cvsignore files in my time manually, but I wouldn't want to overcomplicate the menu for that.
