Comment:

 I don't think this is so clear-cut. This had an existing ticket, #19395.

 > If they're still a member of the network, why shouldn't they get the
 email? They're still the author of the post, they just no longer have
 permissions on the blog. Perhaps the issue here isn't that they're no
 longer a member of the blog, but that a particular current_user_can()
 would fail. Specifically, the Trash/Delete and Spam links should confirm
 that they can still moderate the comment, so current_user_can(
 'edit_comment', $comment_id ).
