Well, yes, there's an option in the preferences dialog to "write metadata and others things to image file" (I can't open shotwell right now for the exact wording). And if your import image files tagged like this, shotwell will read this data and use it as expected. It surely works for title ratings and tags, I'm unsure for comments though. And most importantly, it won't work if you're shooting only raw files.
