Comment:

 After implementing tests, I successfully demonstrated that the condition
 this patch changes did not previously permit any `moderate_comments` users
 (not just the post author) from editing an existing comment, despite
 several places in core comments code where we treat `moderate_comments` as
 synonymous with admin-level privileges. I've added a test to validate that
 a user with `moderate_comments` is permitted to do just that.
