It took a while for them to add this. And amusingly, comments (including those opening issues and PRs) are a bit more like a wiki than personal comments—if you have the appropriate permissions, you can edit comments by others. For a long time you could do so with no visible record that it was done. Which is objectively terrible but was hilarious if you worked on a team with a good sense of humor and reasonable restraint.
