As long as we all agree on that, I think we can move forward.
Because I think this ...

... is a better way of saying what I've been feeling (i.e. the
feature indeed is useful, but does it belong to "name-rev"?), and
none among three of us would mind running "name-rev" to see the
simplest way to reach the primary commit you are interested in from
tags, and another "reverse-map the cherry-picks" command (and in
"git show -s --notes=reverse-cherry-pick" may be that command) to
get the data from that orthogonal feature.

And obviously, "git log --notes=reverse-cherry-pick" would give the
information if we take that "use notes to record reverse map for
cherry-picks" route; adding support for "name-rev --cherry-pick"
would not help such a use case.
