(labeled A4 in his message) about the authority to modify a comment by 
someone else (including PR and issue descriptions).

Discussion?


This discussion is not meaningful without the larger context of the duties 
and responsibilities of the Maintainer role on GitHub.

In general, projects only appoint individuals to these privileged roles 
that can be trusted to act responsibly. 

After all, the powers that come with these roles are extensive, going far 
beyond what is discussed here (editing individual comments).

That said, a review is necessary of who currently holds such privileged 
roles and for what purpose -- both on GitHub and in other parts of the 
project's infrastructure.
I started such a review in June 2024 (on and off the sagemath-admins list) 
and will follow up on this.
See https://github.com/sagemath/sage/wiki/Infrastructure (thanks to Kwankyu 
Lee for helping with the organization of this material).
