Comment (by Otto42):

 Fix: Change the regular expression to this:

 {{{
 |(href\t*?=\t*?['\"]?)(https?:)?//|i
 }}}


 Eliminate that center question mark. If we're applying the comment_text
 filter first, then any unlinked http uris will have been autolinked
 already, meaning that the href= will exist around them. Making it not
 necessary for it to be optional.

 This will also eliminate the false positive on an img src="http:whatever"
