Perhaps commits should support key:value metadata? (I was about to say "tags", but that means something different here) That would let you support "reviewer:[email protected]" or whatever you want, without baking workflow assumptions into the VCS.

It's very weird to me that you would use reviewer as your example because that's pretty much the exact point of the signoff feature.
