I don't see any similar comments for simple calls from Emacs to mpz_add_ui. And 
I doubt whether there should be, any more than image.c should have comments like 
this:

  /* Use components from GC to draw a line on DPY's PIXMAP from (X, Y)
     to (X+WIDTH-1, Y+HEIGHT-1).  */
  XDrawLine (dpy, pixmap, gc, x, y, x + width - 1, y + height - 1);

Emacs does not do comments like that, because they would clutter the code if you 
already know what XDrawLine does; and if you don't know, it's easy enough to 
look it up - which you should do anyway, and you'll need to do it anyway if you 
want to understand commentary like "components from GC" and "DPY's PIXMAP".

Similarly for nearly every library function Emacs calls. GMP should be no 
different from other libraries in this respect.

I added a few comments here and there. But I didn't go down to the level of 
commenting every call.

Yes, that's what happens. I removed the test in master.
