Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 As the friendly bot points out, I've pushed a PR to
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/479

 @TimothyBlynJacobs I've included a check for `get_post_status_object(
 $redirect_obj->post_status )->public`, do you think I should logic check
 for `private` or `internal` too?

 @SergeyBiryukov I included some tests for comment feed requests but was
 getting some unexpected results with `?name=slug&feed=rss2` style requests
 that I think are unrelated to this ticket. Do you know if they work?
