For git-format-patch there's --notes which I assume doesn't support customization.

For git-log it's possible to customize how notes appear in git-log
using the standard way of formatting log messages, pretty format.
%N
is for the commit notes
https://git-scm.com/docs/pretty-formats#Documentation/pretty-formats.txt-emNem
For example
  git log --pretty=format:%h%n%N
displays each short hash and it's corresponding note.

It's also possible to use it when generating todos for git-rebase, however, they are written with a prepended new-line which breaks the todo script :/
