It is trivial for you to fetch the refs/notes/do-not--checkout notes
tree from me and merge it into your refs/notes/do-not--checkout
notes tree, I would think; "git notes merge" may have room for
improvement, but essentially it would just want a union of two
sets, no?

My primary concern about notes is that they require manual
action/configuration in order to share. I was looking for a solution
that would automatically protect anyone who pulled from linux.git
(directly or indirectly), without them having to specifically take a
separate step to sync this information.

If "without any configuration" is a hard requirement, then by
definition you'd need to live with what you get from "git clone" and
"git pull" alone, so be it the notes or any other mechanism, there
currently is nothing that lets you do the "skip this part while
bisection".
