Ability to classify code review

[maybeec]

Created by "sudr":

When I'm providing code reviews, I like to include why I'm suggesting the change. Some common reasons that I've used to suggest a code change are:

1. More readable code
2. Code style
3. Tell don't ask principle
4. Code cleanup
5. DRY principle

Some of these, like the "More readable code", I use more often than others. Right now I include this as part of the Description field in Comment Details. Instead it would be nice to be able to enter this as a separate field called "Reason". I'm thinking a ComboBox with the more common reasons already present in the dropdown with the ability for the user to enter a custom value.
