Dunno about having to click a link or sparkly gold borders, but +1 on
having a free-form text box for notes like that. Things like "cfbot says
this has bitrotted" or "Will review this after other patch this depends
on". On the mailing list, notes like that are both noisy and easily lost
in the threads. But as a little free-form text box on the commitfest, it
would be handy.
One risk is that if we start to rely too much on that, or on the other
fields in the commitfest app for that matter, we de-value the mailing
list archives. I'm not too worried about it, the idea is that the
summary box just summarizes what's already been said on the mailing
list, or is transient information like "I'll get to this tomorrow"
that's not interesting to archive.
We already have the annotations feature, which is kind of this.
