Django programs that use any other language as source instead of english might find this useful.
We can use '--add-comments', '-c' as arguments of the makemessages command parser to maintain consistence with xgettext.

Note you should be able to customize this rather easily by having your own makemessages command in your project (inheriting the original command and overwriting xgettext_options).

Thanks for this ticket, however comments for translators are already supported (see docs). Making an extraction keyword configurable was discussed shortly in the #10004 (see comment) and we've decided that this isn't worth adding extra complexity.
