confirmation/success message for the user informing that thanks has been sent.

aside from being able to select a reason, perhaps users could also add a short message (to prevent abuse, perhaps the short custom message will only be allowed for users with more advanced rights, such as autopatrolled and up)

when viewing the public thanks log, maybe users could filter by reason. when seeing the list, the reason could be specified: "(Reason: Content improvement)".

when users get sent a notification when they’re thanked, we could include the reason the sender selected or the comment they wrote — same with e-mail.

Wow, an amazing idea!

There's one thing I'm a bit torn about. Maybe it's better not to allow predefined reasons? Predefined reasons like the ones that appear in F71482373, I auto-complete when I see the notification, it doesn't excite me. However, I would be happy if I could receive and send thanks with an explanation written by a person.
Maybe it's better to leave them, and allow only two options: sending thanks like the one that were until today, or writing a manual summary?
