Comment (by rachelbaker):

 @jnylen0 Thanks for hopping in here.

 I don't think we should honor the `require_name_email` option on comment
 update, that option is intended for comment creation only.  I
 intentionally left that logic out of https://github.com/WP-API/WP-
 API/pull/2861 The discussion setting reads:
 > Comment author must fill out name and email

 After the comment is created, any user with permission to edit the comment
 in wp-admin (or via the XML-RPC endpoint) can remove an offensive comment
 author's name or their email (which would also prevent the associated
 gravatar from displaying).  I don't think we should act any differently.
