As I already said, I do not think notes is a good match as a tool to do
this.

Some cut-and-paste (or piping the e-mail to a command) would be necessary
evil, though, as you would have GPG keys from more than one trusted person
in your keyring, and when you are responding to a pull-request from person
A, finding a valid commit signed by person B should not be a success, but
at least should raise a warning.
