Comment (by chelmer):

 The changes don't have to be too far-reaching. I had to make the
 modifications in our install so that 'moderate_comments' was used
 accurately in regard to comment moderation.

 The code currently ties comment moderation to 'edit_posts' (editors) or
 'edit_post' (with post ID passed for authors) capabilities rather than
 'moderate_comments'.

 Where 'edit_posts' (plural) is used in ''current_user_can()'' conditional
 statements, and comment moderation is in view, then 'moderate_comments'
 can safely replace it (this is only in /admin/menu.php). Where 'edit_post'
 (singular) is in the conditional statement, 'moderate_comments' must be
 added to the statements ( <code>if ( current_user_can('edit_post',
 $comment->comment_post_ID) )</code> to <code>if (
 current_user_can('edit_post', $comment->comment_post_ID) ||
 current_user_can('moderate_comments') )</code>.

 Changes were required in 16 places in 6 core files.
