 > Thinking that individual comments containing personal data can be
 handled directly. The commenter can contact the admin and ask a comment to
 be edited or deleted. Then the admin can use the email
 verification/confirmation.

 +1 for this. We should, however, inform the user that personal data inside
 the comment body will not be touched. Ideally this information should be
 given to the user before commenting at all, as to avoid putting personal
 data in a comment body in the first place. And we should give this
 information prior to anonymizing comments, so deletion of any personal
 data from the body can occur before anonymizing them.

 Still there might be an option to delete the body, or replace it with a
 replacement as suggested when the comment has children.
