Wait...  Looks like this is already the case.  For example on 
<https://h-node.org/webcams/view/en/2173/HP---Inc/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/webcam-works/undef> 
there's distribution version (8.0), distribution (Trisquel), 
kernel (4.4.0-184-generic, 4.15.0-106-generic).  And comments can 
be added to descriptions.
