Could someone update log-edit-mode's font-lock patterns so that the
first line is highlighted specially (at least in the Bzr and Arch
cases)?

I think log-edit-mode should even go further in this direction.
The buffer should be created as

  ----------------
  Author: 
  Summary: 

  blablabla
  ----------------

where <blablabla> is the text taken from the ChangeLog.  Then for
backends which support the notion of summary-line, C-c C-c could just
signal an error if the Summary line is still blank.
After that, empty header entries will get removed and the text is passed
as-is to the backend who is then free to pass it as-is to the underlying
VCS or to extract the various fields and do whatever it feels like
with them.
