I use Git Notes all the time. It doesn’t look like the article mentions that you can attach the notes to emails you send out with git-format-patch(1) and git-send-email(1). I use them for emails to attach comments on patches that shouldn’t go into the commit message:

    I did <insert research notes> and found no other places in the code base where this needs to be fixed.

And as the cover letter for a single patch (if needed/not cowered by the commit message).

And also like a commit message on the iterations on the patches. So for a patch series that go over three versions the note may say what updates where done in versions 2 and 3.

And other than that I use notes for:

- Private notes on how I’ve manually tested the commit

- Link to CI

- A localized changelog for customers (who are not technical)
