​This is a great idea.
​ We could also import the old reviews from ​
codereview.appspot.com

For those who don't know what git notes are, they're a way of adding extra
information to commits without modifying the commit itself. Notes can be
viewed and manipulated using the "git notes" subcommand. "git show" will
also show any notes for a commit.

Github used to display notes but no longer does for some reason.
