Comments, if available, are currently written to the .info.json-file, but, especially for cases with large amounts of comments, it would be useful to store them in a separate file.

I don't see much difference. What is the concrete use case for separate file for comments?

E.g. when doing analysis of comments, it would be simpler to have them stored in a separate file instead of accessing them from the .info.json.

I agree that it wouldn't be much of a difference; it is still easy to get the comments from the .info.json file. But with respects to sorting, it would be more practical, much like --write-description.

For analysis of comments using .info.json is just fine. --write-description has concrete use case of using in 3rdparty software that support .description files.
