Nowhere. It was an never finished feature that just sat there since  
0.8.x days. And it is gone in 2.2.2.

These things were a bit of a misunderstanding. Keywords and comments  
would be more apriopriate as ways of marking already existing messages.  
Generally, people use keywords *nowadays* for dividing messages into  
categories like "Answered", "Junk", "NotJunk", "Forwarded",  
"ActedUpon", etc. Comments are supposed to be a way of annotating  
messages[1].

Both these features require some mailbox driver support which I believe  
could be added if there was some need for it.
