Description
When doing performance triage I currently spend a lot of time looking at improvements/regressions and seeing if they are on the same revision that I've already noted changes for. It would be extremely helpful to be able to annotate a particular revision with a vertical line and a label and have that immediately show up on all the graphs.
These annotations would then be useful to others, making it clear that someone has already looked at an improvement/regression.
Some problems that would require solving:
- How would the data be stored?
- Should adding a label require some kind of permissions? We wouldn't want any rando to be able to come along and add nonsense labels.
- We'd want the ability to edit/delete labels, in the inevitable case of human error.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the graph rendering and data storage paths, then clarify annotation permissions and edit/delete behavior. Done means a revision can show a labeled vertical line consistently on all graphs, with an agreed persistence and access model.
