[darcs-users] long comments with a tag

I find that I'm wanting to add comments to tags.

darcs lets me cherry pick all my changes such that each patch is related 
to a give feature or fix.  My tags then are a collection of these 
features/fixes.  So the feature/fix set between tags is essentially the 
changelog.
However my comments on a given patch tend to be more verbose than whats 
really necessary for say the production change log from release to release.

So what I would like to do is add comments to a tag.  These comments 
would be short descriptions of what was fixed/added since the last tag.

Then the production type people don't have to wade through all my 
verbosity/techno jumbo to determined what to put in their release notes.

Anyone else think thats useful for their setup?  Seems like it would be 
pretty easy to do since a tag is essentially just a patch. IIUC.
