This is already possible, but some fix needs to be made. Currently enwiki puts all the predefined reasons in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown.

The oversighter-only reasons should be moved to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown-suppress (which is currently empty).

There's a link to edit the later message on the deletion page but it's only shown to oversighters, which makes it harder to find.
