Add the ability to redact changeset comments

[Kovoschiz]

Problem

A user recently uploaded edits suggesting the objects are related to their female family members (details censored) in the title. DWG replied that they are unable to act on it.

Description

Upload comments, and changeset discussions, should be made redactable. This closes a privacy and safety loophole.

There's an imaginable risk that users may be doxxed in replies when controversies fall to the worst from vandals. It should be removable.

Honestly surprised this isn't already a feature. Seems to me the changeset comment is, after the data itself, THE place where sensitive information might be shared.

The changeset comment field in the changeset metadata can be changed by operations.

Moderators can hide changeset discussions.

Ok I didn't study the details of different privilege levels yet, and how changeset comments can be moderated now. Half asking this to discuss what should be done about this situation.

• changeset comment tags: duplicate of changeset tags should be modifiable for closed changesets #470
• changeset discussion comments: already implemented

Best is to send an email to operations with all relevant details.

Maybe the discussion is too technical that "redact" wasn't mentioned. I didn't search for "changeset comments" , thinking it's too broad. In fact, there was a failed attempt to solve this. #1167
I don't know if DWG has already passed that case to OWG. If redaction of upload comment isn't done since #470 2013 till now, this can be left untouched for now.

Actually this issue isn't exactly a duplicate of #470. #470 asks for the ability of users to edit tags of their own changesets. And this issue here asks for the ability of moderators to delete tags of any changesets.
