Nothing thus far. It might be reasonable to have a "default_comment"
setting in the [ticket] section:

You want the macro to be added to every comment? You can certainly do that
with a macro, and you could auto-add the macro using JavaScript, but there
may be a better way such as writing a plugin to add the info to the page.

This might be completely unrelated, but for a long time I've been wanting
to work on ITicketCommentProvider so that a plugin could add a ticket
comment:

Macro vs plugin really just depends on your use case. However, the macro vs
plugin difference can often be confused with single-file plugin vs
setuptools-packaged plugin, since macros were often implemented as
single-file plugins in early versions of Trac. I found this aspect
confusing when I first started with Trac.
