Just for clarification:
- We must write our own tool create annotations which signs the commits in 
some way?
- We want that the actual commiter (not the author of the patch) signs all 
commits with such a note?
- a note is only a tag object which points to a commit and no else first class 
git object (commit, tag, tree, blob) points to the note?
- the only reference to the note is stored in refs/* or packed-refs (so it is 
only referenced by a ref)?
- we will get an extrem big packed-refs when we really add a note to every 
commit?
- No history is stored for a note?
- a note can be overriden?
- An update for a note will automatically downloaded by a pull?

And can a commit have multiple notes?
Is their a good design document with use cases available somewhere?
