Actually, I would say this is exactly the sort of thing notes are for.
git.git uses them to map commits back to mailing list discussions:
git fetch git://github.com/gitster/git +refs/notes/amlog:refs/notes/amlog &&
git log --notes=amlog
See also notes.displayRef in git-config(1).
Notes aren't fetch by default, but it's not hard for those interested to
add a remote.*.fetch line to their config.
