[documentation] Help cleaning up comments

[Larry Garfield]

Is there a "lighter" module that could offer similar "flag for list X" 
functionality?  I agree Views is rather heavy for drupal.org at the moment, 
but that sort of flag would make comment management much easier.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
