Comment(by caesarsgrunt):

 The patch implements undo in the ajax comment interface, but not without
 js or for bulk.

 One problem is that unlike with trash, the previous status of a spam
 comment isn't stored. Rather than making undo always approve the comment,
 which would be really confusing and annoying, I have made the js interface
 check whether the comment is currently approved or not when spamming the
 comment, and create a custom undo link based on this.

 Even like this, I've had to modify admin-ajax.php and comment.php too, and
 it feels a bit hacky. Furthermore, it will be difficult to extend to non-
 js, and ''really'' difficult to extend to bulk.

 I think I'll start again and just store the previous status for spam like
 we do for trash.

 But feel free to look at and comment on the interface of the current
 patch...
