Comment (by Joen):

 I agree with this issue, and would love to see small improvements land in
 7.1. The use case feels clear, and the path forward seems relatively
 straight too; there's even precedence in P2.

 A question to be mindful of, however: does the auto-generated title
 actually get saved as title metadata to the post? If yes, does it change
 the slug from what would've otherwise simply been an incrementing post-ID?

 The alternative would be to make this a Posts-list screen visual change
 only: if no title is set, use the first n words from the post and end with
 an ellipsis, but otherwise keep the title metadata empty, the cpt slug
 unchanged.

 Attached two draft sketches of a before and after, for consideration.
