Comment tags are a great way to keep the comment track clean: 
https://wiki.mozilla.org/BMO/comment_tagging
Bugzilla admins can define tags that make the comment automatically 
hidden. Here are the tags that we use in LibreOffice: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage#Comment_tags

They can also act as useful pointers like "repro-steps" to highlight a 
useful comment.

The next release of BZ will have comment editing:

Note also the UX roadmaps:
