If the series changed the meaning of "%s" format to mean "the subject of the commit and notes information", with or without documenting it, then it is just a bug we would like to fix.

But I cannot reproduce such a bug.  In my tree locally:
    $ git notes show a97a74
    Origin of commit notes feature was at
    a97a74).
    $ git show -s --pretty=short a97a74
    commit a97a74686d70a318cd802003498054cc1e8b0ae2
    Author: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de>
        Introduce commit notes
    Notes:
        Origin of commit notes feature was at
        a97a74).
    $ git show -s --pretty=format:%s a97a74
    Introduce commit notes
Puzzled...
