To second Bernd's response: If the purpose of a patch is obvious, there's no reason to add a comment. But sometimes it isn't obvious, or you're patching stuff you want to send to (and explain to) upstream later. For an example of missing comments, please look at the ghostscript patches. I didn't add comments to them, and I regret it.
