Comment (by sabernhardt):

 @audrasjb When I applied the patch, it rejected the plugin error hunk
 (perhaps because I applied it to my 5.4 trunk installation).

 I also checked on the `#commentsdiv .comments-box thead td`, because I
 didn't see a `thead` section on the Post editing screen (Classic Editor)
 to verify the change there. The `td` cell(s) within the header probably
 contained a bulk edit checkbox and/or the number of selected comments at
 first. I can't find a current use of that, but I did locate a screenshot
 of how the Bulk Edit Mode has looked on WordPress.com:
 https://en.support.wordpress.com/manage-comments/#bulk-edit-mode
 (There probably is no need to italicize that text anyway.)

 If we choose to delay editing the table cell style, I still would like to
 prioritize removing italics from:
 1. the plugin errors,
 2. the quick edit labels, and
 3. the image editor help content.
