Is there a way to add a description of AWS Security Group rule rules

Question

I have 5 different security groups that I tried to organize as far as I can.

Sometimes I need to open SSH access to some instances, depending on where I enter, so I add rules from my current IP address for incoming port 22. I can normally, but in order to keep things okay, I would like to indicate that this IP address is from an office in Glasgow, this is from London, New York, etc., but I see no way to post this small or additional information.

We are a few guys updating the security group, and after a while some of them forget to remove the temporary rules, which can become a little messy and make it harder when we want to clear the security group and delete these temporary rules, while maintaining the permanent ones.

I do not see anything in the documents that would allow me to add this small description next to each rule; Did I miss something?
