Yeah, many people use the interactive rebase a lot so I think it could
be very interesting.

It is displaying the steps that have already been performed, right?
I wonder if people might want more about the current step (but maybe
that belongs to `git status`) or perhaps the not yet performed states
(and maybe even a way to edit the todo list?)

It seems to me that these days we don't often add new tools to contrib/.

Yeah, it's probably better if it's integrated in git, either as a
--status option in some commands, or perhaps as an option of `git
status`.
