I've searched if there are requests on Weblate project, but only found
some about the possibility to add comments on suggestions (which is a
good idea I think). From what I understand Nijel is currently searching
for the best UI how to present various comment types.

There is no such role as Add comments for all languages. What I do
usually is to post on this list with a request to the team to comment on
the bug or to let me know if they don't want to post on BZ.

This list is also here for that :) Members of the l10n team usually read
it.
BTW, you have two accounts in Weblate, maybe one can be deleted?
