It is surely used for something.  Or was.  Or was intended to be.

One possibility, probably wrong, is that they are an autoload token.
(The standard one is ";;;### autoload").  See if there's a local
variables section at the end of the file(s).  If so, is there a
declaration for `generate-autoload-cookie'?

Check the repository to see if these comments were added for a
particular reason.  That's if you have access to the repository.  But
you've probably tried this already.

Best of luck!
