Comment:

 In [changeset:"39327"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="39327"
 REST API: Disable anonymous commenting by default.

 Adding a brand new anonymous comment method is a potential conduit for
 spam. Since it's still useful functionality, we're now hiding it behind a
 filter to allow plugins and themes to turn it on if they do want it.

 Props helen, rachelbaker, joehoyle.
 Fixes #38855.
