If this script is accepted and gains adoption, maintainers like yourself will
only be To-ed in patches that touch files that you're a direct "Maintainer" or

imagine that this can be very useful regardless of the specifics of your
workflow.

Given that b4 solves a lot more problems and is getting quite widely
adopted it's probably going to be more effective to look at trying to
get this implemented there.  That might still mean a separate script
that b4 can hook into, but it's probably important that whatever you do
can be used easily with b4.

As someone who has recently moved to using b4 I second this comment.
b4 makes it so much easier to maintain patch versioning and to add the right folks to the review. And most folks aren't performing tree-wide changes so the per-patch customization doesn't seem to be a big win.
