Sure it is slightly confusing to have that comment, but I think that noise is 
still 'acceptable'.

One of the most common complaints by WIkimedia users about Bugzilla (besides 
missing SUL) has been that it reveals your email address: 
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148
However you could argue that this data is already there anyway.

Converting the date/time metadata of comments into proper Phab metadata would 
be lovely to be able to e.g. search for rotten tickets that have not seen any 
updates for ages ("Created Before", "Updated Before"). Also having 
http://korma.wmflabs.org/browser/bugzilla_response_time.html in mind here.

Converting the commenter name metadata into proper Phab metadata feels less 
important to me simply because Phabricator (currently?) does not allow to 
search for "Tickets that I have commented on" on 
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/advanced/
