A little shell wrapper "porcelain" to push/pull heads in the main git repository namespace, along with the appropriate other associated meta-data heads under other namespaces (like the 'notes' one), surely would be trivial to write, and have the main developers of a project use?

Sounds logical. Metadata such as "discussion" of the patch/series of course changes (/ is added to) over time, so tracking metadata for a patch or series on a corresponding and associated HEAD/branch makes sense - and with notes or something similar for the connection/ association pointer, sounds like git has the machinery in place.
