I under reservations about the ability to delete "history",
but my request would be restricted to project admins, who
already could do complete damage to a project.
Also, what is meant by "history"? Tracking all changes to
a particular item? CVS allows the removal of revisions,
so what makes bug reports any more special than a CVS
repository.
To me, it appears the commenting feature has a similiar
feel as forum software, and an administrator should have
the right to remove inappropriate comments.
Note, there could be potential legal consequences.
A malicious user could post any kind of text (and images)
to a bug, and if such text and/or images have liabilities
concerns, or violate laws, there should be a mechanism in
place that allows deletion of such date beyond hand-crafting
SQL queries.
I do request that the offending text of bug #4719 of the
mhonarc project be removed since it does pollute the
legitimate bug history, and since I do not know what it
says, I prefer to get rid of it.
Thanks.

I'm sure to be really confortable with the idea of providing
a way to erase history.
In fact, I suspect a bigger risk of malicious behavior if we
provide an erase feature.
If this bugger comment still harms your project, we will
remove it from the database by an SQL command (tell us if
you feel it necessary).
Regards,
