@mlandauer is there somewhere else you want to keep a record?

@katska it's not clear to me what you're concretely suggesting and what would possibly be considered "done" for this issue. Right now it just sounds like a vague statement of a desire to write down some information.

I'm going to close this. Please reopen if you can suggest a way to explain this as a feature in the application and something that can be finished.
