Assuming that the suggested edit is good enough that you would consider accepting it, based on its own merits, and ignoring the comment, here’s a possible approach:

The first time you see something like this:

  1. Accept the edit (or improve it).
  2. Leave a comment for the editor asking him to write better comments.  (You can @-ping people who have (successfully) edited a post.  But you’ll have to type (or copy and paste) the user’s name, because it isn’t included in the auto-complete.  And this doesn’t work at all for users who have suggested edits that were rejected.)
  3. Make a note of the user name.

Then, when you see more low-quality edit comments coming from the same users, reject them.
