Comment (by rachelbaker):

 In [attachment:38855.diff] I added a filter named
 `rest_allow_anonymous_comments` that defaults to `false` to enable opening
 the endpoint up to anyone/everyone.

 The patch causes many of our unit tests to fail, so they will need to
 updated/adjusted as needed.

 I wanted to get this up before I had to step away for baby pickup.
