Comment:

 [attachment:"1956.patch"] implements a "Report topic" action to the
 sidebar.

 Who and when is recorded at the time of reporting, and the list of
 previous reporters is visible to those with moderator capabilities under
 the report action.

 The report feature adds the `modlook` tag to a topic, this means our
 existing modlook view can keep being used, and users already familiar with
 the term can manually add it if they wish.

 When a topic is flagged, moderators can easily remove the flag using a
 button in the sidebar as well.

 I opted to allow users to report the same topic multiple times, and each
 time they are recorded as a new report. To avoid the logging going crazy,
 I chose to limit this to only log 10 reports from a single user on any one
 topic. If moderators observe that many reports on a topic by a single
 user, it should raise some eyebrows and they should look into the matter.
