We use the drm subsystem maintainer tool for cherry-picks, and it uses the -x option. If you have any suggestions for helpful but non-intrusive additional annotations on cherry-picked commits, it should be easy enough to update the tool. And perhaps the annotation could be more widely adopted as well. It's not like nobody else ever cherry-picks, we just do it more. The annotation could still be the same.
