Not to stray off-topic, but I use tags for the cover letter eg:
refs/tags/patches/short-description/v[N]

I hadn't thought of using git-notes for the per-patch comments, here I
was with the opposite problem (A straighforward way to keep track of
cover-letters, but no good way to keep track of the per-patch comments)
