Problem to solve
When following a post-merge review workflow, or a workflow where changes are simply pushed and then audited at a later date, I want to know which commits have been reviewed or audited.

Further details
We'd like to use comments on commits for code-review, but it's really hard to track which commits have been reviewed and which ones not.
We don't want to require the use of merge-requests for code reviews, it should possible to review code on smaller commits in an ad-hoc fashion and easily visualize that.
Proposal
If post-merge reviews are implemented as a first party concept, reviews/audits should be cross linked from commits in the same way that merge requests are cross linked from commits.
Original proposal
Commit comments can already reference Labels through the ~label notation.
If those labels would simply be displayed in the commit log page (https://gitlab.com/group/page/commits) and at the top of each commit page, we could instantly see which commits have been reviewed through the ~Reviewed label and which ones are not.
This would also open up other ways of tracking work needed on commits by leveraging the already existing label infrastructure.
When a comment on a commit has had a label added, that label should appear on the commits history page and the dedicated commit page.
