It should be fairly simple as I added mcedit to the list of available
editors.  A quick 'git grep mcedit' shows where mcedit was added:

$ git grep mcedit
ChangeLog:1117:  * share/logcfg.dat, src/editlog.c, src/parse_logcfg.c: Prefer 
'mcedit' for
ChangeLog:1119:  Enable 'mcedit' as a log file editor.
share/logcfg.dat:33:#EDITOR=mcedit
src/changepars.c:359:           strcpy(cmdstring, "mcedit ");
src/editlog.c:63:       strcat(comstr, "mcedit  ");
src/parse_logcfg.c:904:     if ((strncmp(buff, "mcedit", 6) == 0)
tlf.1.in:282:Edit the log with your favourite editor (the editor 
(vi[m]|joe|e3|mcedit)
tlf.1.in:975:You can set your favourite editor (joe | vi[m] | e3 | mcedit) in 
the
tlf.1.in:1047:\fBEDITOR\fR=\fIjoe\fR | \fIvi\fR[\fIm\fR] | \fIe3\fR | 
\fImcedit\fR

This should help you get started, Joop.
