It might be nice to have, since it does come up once in a while, so I
suspect patches would be welcome.

There are many other ways to do this. Have you tried:
- simply pulling the old repo into the new one?
- if they are not connected in real-time, creating a bundle from the
first and pulling it into the latter?
- if you want to tweak the commit data during the process, have you
tried using fast-export/fast-import rather than format-patch/am?
