.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG is such a place that already exists, assuming you
are just extracting a commit message.

--empty=keep was already part of your patch series; I don't see why
you'd need to add a synonym (--allow-empty) for it.
I think you were trying to ask if you could just leave out the
implementation of --empty=ask (or --empty=die) from your patches.
That's usually fine, but there is a small wrinkle here since it was
your chosen default. You'll have to pick a different default, and
possibly alert users in the documentation that the default may change
in the future if/when the other option is implemented.
