It will be nice if this module will have a feature for an admin to specify the reason why the comment was left unpublished.

Stefan, admin can always edit a comment and add required information (styling it if necessary). Frankly, I don't see a good reason for additional fields in this case.

You are right about this. I'm just thinking that it will be nicer to have a set of messages (editable in the admin interface) and instead of editing each comment, you just select the message you wish to display. I realize that maybe is just me that finds this more convenient (or maybe I'm just lazy) so, at some point, I'll probably try to implement this for my website and post the code here so it could be available as an optional patch to your module (for whoever will need this). I hope that this is ok.

Stefan, unfortunately I have no time to implement this feature. Feel free to do that by yourself. When the patch is ready I can help with testing and (if everything will work fine) apply it to the module. It will be available to everyone as a new version of the module.

I think that it would be intuitive to extend the form at /admin/content/comment and add actions to the "Update options" form element. You could add options like "Won't publish: reason 1", "Won't publish: reason 2" and so on, making the "reasons" configurable.
