I know it's rather non-standard, but the thing is, Ebib's multiline mode is a
minor mode, and key sequences consisting of C-c followed by a control character
are reserved for major modes (see (info "(elisp)Key Binding Conventions") ).
You're of course free to bind C-c C-c to ebib-quit-multiline-edit within
ebib-multiline-mode-map yourself, but I can't use it as the default key binding.

For the reason just mentioned, I wouldn't be able to accept a patch like that.
But what I would include is a patch that would allow a user to install C-c C-c
(and perhaps some other commands) in ebib-multiline-mode-map, if they so choose.
