If I recall correctly, the above is in line with the original spirit of
how git-cvsexportcommit was envisioned to be used by its original authors.

That is, the import side is more or less satisfactory done in the sense
that it deserved a short and sweet command name, but the export side is
not as finished as the import side is, and you have to drive it more
explicitly by telling what commit to send back to the CVS side.  Building
on top of it so the tool keeps track of what needs to be sent, like git-svn
allows users to do, would be the right thing to do.

I have to admit that it won't be to me (because I do not interact with CVS
myself) but I don't count ;-)
