Description

We should have a simple + ligthweight way to annotate specific builds with information like "won't be fixed until dask has a new release" or "this is supposed to be fixed in ARROW-XXX".

We should find an easy, lightweight way to add this kind of information.

Only relevant in its previous parent: We should not require, ask, or allow people to add this information to the JSON that is saved as part of ARROW-13509. That JSON should be kept pristine and not have manual edits. Instead, we should have a plain-text look up file that matches notes to specific builds (maybe to specific dates?)
