When a warning is allowed and not fixed a comment on the line could help users to know if the warning is know (will not be fixed) or if it is a new one. In this way the author will compare the effort to fix it or add the comment.

I disagree. Warnings are a personal conversation between the compiler
and the author of the code. They are nobody else's business.
