This adds a bunch of extra lines just in case something might happen in the
future. That is generally a bad idea, so please change this. As you can see
it just causes reviewers to trip over this with exactly the question you got
here.

Adding a comma at the end doesn't add extra lines. To be honest, I don't
have a strong opinion on this either way. Personally I would probably use a
comma if it is likely that the list would be extended in the future, and
leave it out if I am pretty certain that won't happen. In any case, I don't
mind either way.
