Like title suggests - --add-metadata appears to be including the description twice, once in the Description: and again in the Comment: Metadata. For lengthy Descriptions, this can be ugly...

This is intentional, see #4847.

I think it should be expanded then. It's an ugly solution to assume everyone wants metadata stored like that when not everything operates like VLC.

--metadata-as-description
--metadata-as-comment

If someone wants both pieces of metadata filled, they can add both options or have a third option that simply keeps what --add-metadata does already.

Also, please don't just close an Issue and call it resolved because the issue was intentionally added before. The issue is still an issue. Please re-open the issue or I will have to make a new issue referencing this one later.
