I don't have time to look up who wrote y-with-a-macron like that (it's very late and I haven't had any sleep), but I glanced through my files to see who wrote "g" in this style and almost all of them were from between 1400 and 1433 and, interestingly, mostly from France (one is thought to be from France or Leipzig), one from near Stuttgart (c. 1433), and one from the Tirol (c. 1460).
So the time period is consistent with the style of quire numbers and the radio-carbon dating.
This is just glancing through, not an exhaustive search.
