I agree that this is a common issue. Acked-by/Reviewed-by mails come
in after the fact that the patch has been committed to an immutable
(i.e no-rebase mode) branch or if the change in question already hit
Linus tree.

Still it would be nice to have a recording of that in the git tree
itself.

Something like: "git --attach SHA1 <comment>" would be appreciated!
