I kind of like the idea of adding a comment field. I wondered why some package has been flagged out-of-date a couple of times and I think having an additional comment might make things easier. -1 to making it mandatory, though. Martti already gave a reason.
Anyway, could you please file a feature request?
i'm not sure what you have in mind by 'additional comment' - but if someone _wants_ to make a comment, he probably will anyway in the normal comments. another commentfield just for OOD would be redundant, or am i missing your point?
A separate comment box on a separate "flag package out-of-date" page (similar to what archweb does) to
* Allow for sending that comment alongside the notification mail.
* Allow for linking the comment to the out-of-date flag (allows TU to quickly check for a reason without having to read all the comments).
* Show some extra information about what "out-of-date" means.
Lukas, I might be wrong, but this is sort of how flagging out-of-date works in official repos, right? It sounds good. Better than being mandatory to add a comment in the comments list after flagging ood - which I disagree.
