Bug Description
I request the feature described in Mark's comment on bug #136937: "We may also in future allow commercial users of Lp to annotate bugs with private comments that are not shared..."
Sometimes bugs filed against LP itself are made private so that LP engineers can discuss LP internals. This restricts the visibility of a bug we don't actually need to hide--we just need to hide the internal discussion. I suggest the ability to mark a comment, attachment, or other bug annotation as private. This makes the bug page a central location for discussing the bug, no matter who's involved in the conversation. Bugs would only need to be made private when it's desirable to hide the bug itself (ie. security).
Adding this feature would also fix bug #39674.

See my comments on bug 179587 too; this would let us implement apport crash reports more gracefully, with fewer private bugs.
