Comment (by crazytonyli):
Hi @swissspidy, just for a little bit of background info, I'm one of the
developers working on the WordPress mobile app. I asked Hannah to help add
these fields to the REST API in core.
Regarding the `post_details` field, what the app needs is the post title,
so that we can show a UI like: "<Someone> posted a comment on <Post
title>: <Comment content>". We can fetch any post detail information in a
separate HTTP request, but this would require one request for each
comment, which isn't very performant.
