Track assignee with comments

Question

I don't know if I can request new product features here, but it would be nice if....

When an issue is assigned from one person to another to be completed and comments are being submitted all the time, it would be nice to see the assignee at the time a comment was created.

Marijn Schoo added a comment for  { assignee }

I'm finding it hard to see the need for this feature. Your example above seems confusing too... It sounds like Marjin Schoo added a comment for someone else.

Probably you are talking about '@mention' feature of JIRA. Take a look at that. http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/06/using-watchers-and-mentions-effectively/

Moreover, you can check the Issue History to see who was the assignee when the comment was added. I think the first question is, why do you need to know the "Assignee" was when someone puts a comment on it?
