Comment:

 In [attachment:44141.diff]:

 - Add `@group privacy` to the tests in `Tests_Comments` that test the
 anonymization of comment data.
 - Adds translator context to the `Anonymous` string that replaces the
 commenter's name. This could be important for some languages.
 - Continue passing the comment author's URL through
 `wp_privacy_anonymize_data()` so that plugins and themes can filter the
 URL if desired.
 - Adjust tests for anonymizing comment author URLs and emails.
 - Add a `_wp_anonymized` comment meta value of `true` when a comment is
 successfully anonymized.
 - Change `wp_privacy_anonymize_data()` to return an empty string by
 default for both emails & URLs.

 The main change here is that a comment meta value is added flagging a
 comment as anonymized. It allows the URL to be empty but it's still
 obvious that there was potentially data there that was redacted. The
 `_wp_anonymized` key could also contain an array of the fields that did
 contain data before being erased if knowing that is important.
