FreeBSD has something quite similar called send-pr.  It's a shell script
that, when you type send-pr creates a template for you.  Additionally,
their web site has some of their typically excellent documentation,
instruction the newcomer on how to fill it out, though it's fairly
self-explanatory.

If anyone's interested, I've put up a copy of the shell script.
