Description greg.jarman+sudo 2015-04-27 00:52:12 MDT 
I'd like sudo to prompt the user for why they need to sudo.

sudo should not do anything with this information other than to sanitise the input and add it to the log it emits. (WHY="users reason";)

It would allow the 'sudo' activities to be easily tied to a particular Change Request, or Service Request.
