#54473: Comments listing screen in wp-admin doesn't expose if a comment was left by
a logged in user

 When viewing wp-admin/edit-comments.php it's not possible to determine if
 comments are being left by an "anonymous" user, or by a logged in user,
 despite this being stored in the comments table.

 This is particularly useful for Sites where users need to be logged in to
 comment, or for sites with public registration enabled (such as
 WordPress.org).

 Using #meta5485 as an example, spammers can register and then leave spam
 comments on posts, but it's not immediately visible what their user login
 is, or have any link to their profile - Having a link directing the
 moderator to the users profile, in addition to being able to spam just the
 comment, would be greatly beneficial for those use-cases.

 There's already a bit of information overload on the comments listing
 author section, so perhaps for logged in users the information shown might
 be able to be adjusted/minified/etc. There might not be any reason to
 display the Email address for example.
