In this case there's only *one* comma, which serves to escape the asterisk, as
I see it. You can get the same effect if you run `org-toggle-comment` twice on
the same region. (It would be nice if the region did not have to disappear
after the first invocation.)
The issue I was raising is putting commas before each line in the block.

Subject: Re: Commas in org source blocks
Oh? I also thought it served a purpose, since Org mode 9.7.11 inserts them
when editing code. Consider the following org code:
#+begin_src elisp
(message "abc
*def")
#+end_src
This has no leading commas atm, but when you edit the source block with
C-c ' (org-edit-special / org-edit-src-code), and save that buffer with
C-c ' (org-edit-src-exit),
org inserts the trailing comma before the '*'.
Is this a bug, then, or do I still misunderstand the reason the commas are
there?
