I play with a prototype and add the log in the messag-System and
upload it to github

see the screenshort:
http://ddtp.debian.net/screenshots/ddtp-new-web-20110910-new-comment.png

I move the comments on the right side and if you add some Comments in
the 'Comments field' at the bottom, this Comment will be add on the
right side. (see the 2. Comment at the screenshot)

If make a a review, make changes, fetch a description etc. The system
will add a Comment also (See the 3. and 4. Comment: 'reviewed from...'
and 'test updated from...'

Comments?

@Kleptog:
Is this nice enough, or did you prefer the logging in PendingReview
table?

Some description are more or less the same... Like XXX and XXX-dbg

In this cases it should be usefull for the lang coordinator, to lock
XXX-dbg. And unlook it, after the XXX is translated.

If the solution with the messag system is good enough for you, this
is now only a
   SELECT for_description from messages_tb where from_user='grisu42';
and you get all description, if you add a comment or make some work
with it.
