Right, I seem to have missed the information that the comments were deleted. I was under the impression that there is still activity from the user available on Gitlab at this point. > In this case, losing the comments wasn't a major issue since they > didn't have any value.

I raised my concerns because it seemed like we have currently exactly one person who is barred from editing their Gitlab history, while everyone else can do so freely. > In the future, I think it would be good to have a policy in place for > situations like this.
