I think it would still be helpful, and there is lots of empty space on the second tab in metadata...

You might want to ask kiwidude in the plugins forum how hard it would be to add a plugin for this. It wouldn't surprise me if it would be fairly easy. There's no need to interface with the user. Alternatively, it could be implemented as a tweak option.
I regret that I don't have any spare time to implement this, but from my work on the automerge code I'm pretty sure this is not all that difficult to do. Calibre has the filename in its grasp during the add process and it's just a matter of concatenating it into comments along with the other metadata being filled in when the ebook is added.
The main problem is that this is most useful for a beginner who's just starting up by transferring an existing collection into calibre, and a beginner is never familiar enough with obscure calibre options to make much use of a feature like this.
