I agree, comments within the ebuild are practically invisible to archteams (at least to me for x86). But also running repoman is usually the final step, right before committing. The place for comments that need to be considered during archtesting would be right in the stable request bug. This is where I usually start. If I do normal build tests first and then find they have been in vain when running repoman, then I wasted cycles for the build tests. I'm unsure if this would apply to your original example, though.
