While I think there is some consensus not to have attribs (besides x) in core git, contrib/ may be a good place. Note that etckeeper and metastore predate our notes feature. By now, a notes tree is a perfect place to store meta information. You can attach notes to blobs perfectly (see textconv-cache). That may be an option for a reimplementation, depending on how you want the versioning of the files to be related with the versioning of the meta data.
