Comment (by jnylen0):

 Replying to [comment:8 rachelbaker]:
 > After the comment is created, any user with permission to edit the
 comment in wp-admin (or via the XML-RPC endpoint) can remove an offensive
 comment author's name or their email (which would also prevent the
 associated gravatar from displaying).  I don't think we should act any
 differently. Executing this isn't straightforward due to how the schema
 validates email properties, but I will create a new ticket as this is a
 separate issue.

 Hmm, ok, thanks for the background info.  I'll update the patch here
 accordingly.
