Disclaimer: I have no idea about that functionality, as I rarely^Wnever use 
the Patch Review system in KDevelop.

But regarding the commit message editor, you should find your way around 
easily by checking this class:
  kdevplatform.git:vcs/widgets/vcsdiffpatchsources.cpp

I don't see any trace of pulling in a Git commit message template, but I do 
something that remembers old commit messages (see 
VCSCommitDiffPatchSource::addMessageToHistory).

Patches welcome I'd say -- would be helpful to honor the Git commit message 
template (`git config commit.template`) here, and use it in the commit message 
editor.

Cheers,
Kevin
