I think you could modify the sources of svn_mailer to add such a hook.  When I
first investigated this issue, I ended on a bug report from the debian project
that fixed the subject line with a one line patch:

For your convenience, here is the patch from that debian bug report:


svnmailer: add log substitution for subject templates

Add first line of commit log as a substitution variable for
*_subject_template, E.G. add %(log)s to use.
