PCB doesn't really have a footprint editing mode.  It can load
footprints so you can view them, but that's about it.  When I edit
footprints, I usually have a *.pcb file with that footprint in it, make
the changes there, and re-extract the footprint to a file.  Or I just
edit the file in a text editor.

For comments, you can do this:

# This is a comment

However, those are not preserved when the footprint is loaded into pcb.

You can add attributes to a footprint like this:

Element[...]
(
  Attribute("...name..." "...value...")
)

Those *are* preserved, and can be both documentary (like the author's
email) or programatic (like filenames for 3-D models, if you had a 3-D
plugin).
