 I was able to read the form and the labels seemed to be in the correct
 place.
 I clicked on 1 of the buttons “b” and wasn’t sure where I ended up.  I
 arrowed down until I could figure it out. Despite my confusion,it seemed
 to read out fine with the labels properly placed.

 Didn't have a problem navigating between the edit fields until we come to
 the comments area, I find this with a lot of areas like this and that is I
 cant get to the body without having to tab through all of the code
 snippets, very annoying.
 After the author edit field and before the code shortcuts I'd like the
 next tab to be the comment I need to edit.

 All fields are labeled (clear).
 I can Edit without a problem, +1 from me.

 Edit of a comment was without any problem.

 Labels for those fields read out fine in Chrome. The links are a bit
 context-less now though. While I personally understand the connection
 between the Email field and the "send email" link (and similarly, the URL
 field and the "visit site" link), not everyone might while just listening
 to it as they tab through ("Send email to where?"). Maybe include the
 email address in the link (as screen reader text or otherwise)?

 Not too sure what to do about the visit site link, especially since it'll
 take you to the commenter's website (whatever it is they've filled in). It
 seems redundant to read it out loud again, but maybe refer back to the URL
 field?

 Additionally, the only button on the comment editor that makes any sense
 when read by NVDA is the "Close Tags" button. Everything else ("b button
 b", "i button i", "del button del", etc) is a bit weird.

 Remark Rian: About the remarks of the markup buttons of the editor,  this
 is not part of the patch, but the testers tested it anyway. Labeling the
 buttons properly maybe worth a separate ticket?
