I've held off stuffing fugitive into my vim setup as I'm happy using git from the command line, but this looks like it might be the thing that pushes me in to it.
That said, extradite only looks to get me part way towards answering the question I often find myself trying to answer with git, which is: 'which commits affected this range of lines in this file?' When looking at other people's code I often want to know _why_ the code looks like it does, and the commits made in a region over time give you the commentary (or at least should do if the commit messages are well written). Something like 'git blame', but instead of showing all lines for a single commit I was all commits for a range of lines.
I've come across that question a couple of times myself,but don't think there's an elegant way to implement it by wrapping existing git commands. Unless there's some command that I'm not aware of.
