Comment:

 Hi @jonkolbert

 Thanks a lot for your feedback about this sensitive issue. If I believe
 it's important the commenter gets a feedback once he posted a comment even
 if he hasn't consent to the comment cookie, I totally understand your
 concern about the potential wrong usage of the moderation hash spammers
 are doing.

 In [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/49956/49956.2.patch
 49956.2.patch] I'm suggesting to display the pending comment for 1 minute
 just after he has been posted and I suggest to remove all links from the
 comment's preview and from the author url.

 After 1 minute, it's not possible to see the pending comment anymore.
