You're right, the app currently lacks a view for this.

And while it would be pretty easy to add a page that just lists the
most recent comments in descending creation order, that would not show
things like

* patches being committed/rejected/punted;
* patches changed to a different subsection;
* changes to a patch's short name;
* edits to existing comments.

We don't AFAIK collect data about these events. However, we could
have certain actions trigger the creation of an automated comment
(e.g., "Status changed to Committed by petere") and let the
aforementioned comment view suffice for a "history".

Cheers,
