Comment:

 Every time I have an issue, there is already a ticket about. And it's
 usually more than 5 years old :)

 OK, so a refesh is desired. I think I have come up with something that
 should work. I was in a similar situation as @mariusvetrici and have
 written a patch against 4.6 which works for me.

 As we have to capabilities for comments "edit_comments" and
 "moderate_comments", both should be taken into account. The menu lacks of
 the item as an optimization removed it, if a user has not the "edit_posts"
 capability, to not run the counting. I think "moderate_comments" works
 better here. So I used all three capabilities, the two comments caps and
 the old "edit_posts", so it doesn't break any old code/workaround.
