What is this actually doing? I.e. are the emails being edited on the server or is the extension storing a set of edits and applying them when you view the edited emails in Gmail in Chrome? Are the original emails still accessible? How?
We are storing the changes you make to an email and then loading those changes back in when you view that email. The original email is never deleted, you can always click the "Restore" button get back to the original.
The first thing you need to know is that an email sent to username+anything@gmail.com is the same as sending it to username@gmail.com. Knowing that you can send all your notes to username+todo@gmail.com and then create a filter to attach a Yellow "TODO" label for any such emails received. You can send yourself reminders from anywhere. You may want to add your "todo" in your address book for convenience.
You can also reply to any email that needs attention and change the recipient to username+todo@gmail.com. If you add a short summary in the first line of the body, it will show in your inbox preview. That email will sit in your inbox vying for your attention and when you open it, you can always refer to the original thread. It's also possible to expand this idea further. For example, you can reply to an existing todo email and add more details. You can also keep a draft email within the same thread where you have rough notes. I have drafts that are a year old attached to todo items. You can mark items complete fairly easily as well. You should have GMail keyboard shortcuts enabled if you don't already.
On a related note, you can also sync your iPhone notes to keep them on GMail. That works out nicely as you always have them backed up online and you can have read-only access to them from anywhere through your GMail account.
I haven't needed anything more for my todo management.
A few weeks ago, Hubspot launched their gmail add-on product called Signals.
Now this company has launched their gmail add-on product called Signal.
The products are way too similar to avoid user confusion.
Messes with keyboard shortcut workflow :(
We tried experimenting with having it always be on auto-edit mode (assumed most people don't heavily rely on shortcuts) so we definitely understand that this will interrupt your flow as a power gmail user. We will be pushing the feature to disable auto-edit in the next few days and I'd be more than happy to comment here when it's out :)
Find a way to give back the old compose message box, charge $1 to buy the feature and you'll be a millionaire in a week.

Storing them where?

I don't think so. Maybe if I'd need it much more, I could somehow come up with greasemonkeying UI to use labels for this, but currently I think labels are more like folders.
An email can have multiple labels. And labels can be nested. They really are glorified tags.
