// todo(gravypod, techdebt): some description of the issue
and have that, when pushed up to a VCS, turn into an issue created, assigned to me, and labeled with tech debt. I know this exists in some of the walled gardens like Google's internal infrastructure but I think if this existed in the open world you'd see a lot more consistency between issues/comments and you'd enable more continual cleanup.
My guess is, in some less healthy organizations, tech debt comments get cleaned up more frequently than tech debt issues. Issues probably don't get assigned (a practice I have experienced at many companies) but comments are "right there" and can be rolled into other tickets in an attempt to always leave it cleaner than you've found it.
