Comment (by swissspidy):

 I agree with `wp_get_nearby_events()`. This shouldn't be added to core.
 The upgrade routine should be enough, but I also recommend updating the
 plugin as well. Most of the ~40 users will update it pretty quickly I
 think.

 Translator comments are usually written a bit different. I'd write
 something like this

 {{{
 /* translators: 1: the city the user searched for, 2: meetup organization
 documentation URL */
 }}}

 The URL itself doesn't need a translator comment as there's no placeholder
 in it.

 Few other observations:

 * There's a typo in the short description of the
 `maybe_anonymize_ip_address()` method (missing 'to').
 * The `@return` lines shouldn't be aligned with the params.
 * `true` and `false` in the docblocks shouldn't be in backticks.
 * In dashboard.js, I think `$container.on( 'click', '.community-events-
 toggle-location', app.toggleLocationForm );` and `$container.on( 'click',
 '.community-events-cancel', app.toggleLocationForm ); ` can be combined by
 using a `.community-events-toggle-location, .community-events-cancel'`
 selector.
 * The short descriptions in the docblocks in the JS need full stops at the
 end.
 * `rest_get_community_events_permissions_check()` is missing an `@since`
 annotation
 * To be more consistent with our REST routes, I feel like the community
 events rest route should be in its own controller class, just like the
 others. Right now it's a pretty odd exception.
 * … that way it would also be better testable. Right now there aren't any
 tests at all for that REST API endpoint.

 See https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/inline-
 documentation-standards/ for help with the inline docs.

 FYI I also mentioned some other things on the make/core post that aren't
 strictly related to this patch.
