bugzilla.mozilla.org supports editing comments. I'm not sure if it's supported
in stock Bugzilla.

When bugzilla.mozilla.org enabled this, old comments were kept as plain text.


That being said, I asked about how Markdown is implemented in
bugzilla.mozilla.org:

glob:
It was a lot of work to implement it.  bugzilla.mozilla.org is very different
from stock Bugzilla, it won't be easy to bring to other instances.  I believe
there are plans to switch stock Bugzilla to follow BMO, but we're not directly
involved in that.

So perhaps this is not as easy to enable as I thought it would be.
