There is a variable (of course!):
,----
| org-footnote-auto-label is a variable defined in `org-footnote.el'.
| Its value is t
|
| Documentation:
| Non-nil means define automatically new labels for footnotes.
| Possible values are:
|
| nil prompt the user for each label
| t create unique labels of the form [fn:1], [fn:2], ...
| confirm like t, but let the user edit the created value. In particular,
| the label can be removed from the minibuffer, to create
| an anonymous footnote.
| plain Automatically create plain number labels like [1]
|
| You can customize this variable.
`----
but how to use it in the way you specify is left as an exercise for the
interested reader.

Given the mangling that mailers do to replies (e.g. the idiotic default
top posting of Thunderbird and its ilk), how they handle signatures, and
the non-standard nature of signatures themselves, I'd say this is pretty
much hopeless. At least the end is a well defined place that
org-footnote-action can always find. The rest are shifting sands.
Of course, if you use a nice primitive mailer[1] where *you* do all the
placement the way *you* like it, that's no problem at all. I can add all
the footnotes I want, then M-> C-c C-s, done (that is, if I *had* a signature,
which I don't - and M-> is always right, since I (almost) never top-post).
