Description:
Allow this:

ALTER USER 'foo'@'bar' COMMENT 'Application user for fooapp, requested by John Doe';
ALTER USER 'jd'@'bar' COMMENT 'Personal user for John Doe';

This can be used to store:
- full name
- description
- ticket reference
- email addr
- wiki link
- etc

How to repeat:
See description.

Suggested fix:
Add a 'comment' column to mysql.user and store this in there.
