There seems like two use cases for remotenames: knowledge about the most recently seen location of each remote bookmark, and knowledge about where the remote bookmarks have been over time. I think 99% of the benefit of remotenames comes from the first part. Building a storage layer which suits both the journal and remotenames seems like massive scope creep to address the 1% use case. Even if we did unify the storage models, I still don't believe remotenames and the journal could share a common storage format because they don't have similar access patterns. Remotenames is much more of a random access dict-like object, while the journal is much more of a sequential log. If I want to lookup the value of the latest remote master I don't want to deal with scanning some log of recent activity, and if I want to maintain a log of recent activity I don't want to build an index that allows for random access.
