You get this when you are on the file that has changed. Press TAB
(magit-toggle-section) and you see a diff. Move to the chunk you want to
comment on and press "C": this should insert the defun/defvar/etc in the
commit buffer.

To automate this I have

  (defun fb/magit-commit-add-log ()
    (interactive)
    (let* ((ol (car (overlays-at (point))))
           (beg (overlay-start ol))
           (end (overlay-end ol))
           commit-buffer)
      (save-excursion
        (goto-char beg)
        (while (re-search-forward "^[+-]" end t)
          (save-window-excursion
            (magit-commit-add-log)
            (setq commit-buffer (current-buffer)))))
      (display-buffer commit-buffer)))

... but I don't really use this, because it is very slow and, usually,
you want to arrange things differently.
