 I suppose that it is on purpose that the comments added to tickets are not
 shown in the timeline...

 However, I see at 2 problems with that approach:
  * The timeline filter says ''Ticket changes'' yes/no, which is misleading
  * When you add something meaningful to an old ticket, chances are high
    that this won't be noticed for a while...

 For instance, I made a contribution (an interesting one, imho) to #234.
 To be sure that this will get noticed, I could have created a new ticket
 for
 it (*) linking to the old one for good measure, or announced it on the
 mailing-list...

 But wouldn't it be simpler if it was shown as a ticket change in the
 timeline?

 Possible solution:
  * Change the current filtername from "Ticket changes" to "Tickets status
 changes"
  * Add another filter "Ticket contributions", which enables/disables
 viewing the added comments


 (*) one could argue that this was indeed what I've done :)
