A while back.
commit 27cba025a501c9dbcfb08da0c4db95dc6111d647
Author: Magnus Hagander <mag...@hagander.net>

Implement simple message annotations
This feature makes it possible to "pull in" a message in a thread and
highlight
it with an annotation (free text format). This will list the message in a
table
along with the annotation and who made it.
Annotations have to be attached to a specific message - for a "generic" one
it
makes sense to attach it to the latest message available, as that will put
it
at the correct place in time.
Magnus' commitmessage explains it well. The way I've used it (albeit
infrequently) is to point to a specific mail in the thread where a significant
change was proposed, like the patch changhing direction or something similar.
