Why not? Some feedback is better than no feedback; we're supposed to be here
for a shared goal, if the patrolling action was correct everyone should be
happy. We also see people thanking for reverts of their own edits, as far as I
know.

More in general, I suppose the assumption of the thanks feature is that people
are able to discern and have enough context to judge the actions they click
"thank" for; if not, why would this feature even exist?

So your proposal to give users more context is appropriate, but it's a separate
enhancement request (doesn't block not is blocked by this one).
