Persisting identifiers for retry calls to Sign()

[computerquip-work]

I need to store data between calls to Sign(), similar to how the Venafi issuer stores "pickup IDs" in the annotations of the certificate request. I cannot seem to figure out how to do this with CertificateRequestObject as I can't seem to get the actual typed object out of it. Could I get some guidance on the intention here?

I ended up re-fetching the underlying object using the name and namespace in the CertificateRequestObject. I guess instead of needing help, I'll turn this issue into a feature request.

Is it possible to modify CertificateRequestObject so I can get the either CertificateRequest or CertificateSigningRequest held in the CertificateRequestObject?
