[wp-hackers] GSOC - comment moderation proposal

[Eitan Adler]

I'm very interested in doing this work and I'll probably submit an
"official" GSOC proposal soon. I have some comments though.

Like a admin change-comment-author type system?

I could imagine serious privacy issues with this. A user could a
comment with a random email address. If the email exists in the DB it
would say "This is a valid email...". Perhaps a different UI could be
implemented where once you log in it would show all the comments left
with your email address and offer to convert it to your account?
