1510827 - Add an API for edited comment history

Status: NEW

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Extensions, enhancement)

Description

[Emma Humphries ☕️🎸🧞‍♀️✨ (she/they) [:emceeaich] (Pacific Time) use needinfo]

In order to support content moderation and community management, an API returning edited comments should be available.

The API should return the edited and previous versions of comments, who edited them, and the parent bug. 

Unprivileged users should get back an empty result set.

Users with escalated privileges in the the 'insider' or 'edit others comments' groups should be able to see edits by all users in the group who can edit their own comments.

The ability to see all edits, or edits to the comments of others should be limited to a separate, more restrictive group.

GitHub has allowed you to edit comments but there’s no API or feed to retrieve the revisions. This is a nice-to-have but not a blocker, I believe. I’ll leave the bug open for any future implementation work.
