Yes, this is a known limitation.

It's still possible via the bugzilla APIs (xmlrpc/jsonrpc) and also
via the comment-via-email that is enabled on fdo's bugzilla.
Also when the bug has an alias, it was accessible via regular web for some time.

Best to send him a note...

A query like:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?product=LibreOffice&f1=longdesc&o1=changedafter&v1=2015-01-25&order=Last%20Changed&query_format=advanced

query in product LibreOffice (all states/resolutions/components) where
the comments did change after (including) 2015-01-25) can be used to
query the modified bugs.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/jsonrpc.cgi?method=Bug.comments&params=[{"ids":[88757]}]

(or also xmlrpc version, but jsonrpc is easier to use in the browser)
can be used to query for the comments. Using a browser-extension that
formats json nicely is recommended :-)

you can limit the output to recent comments with the new_since parameter:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/jsonrpc.cgi?method=Bug.comments&params=[{"ids":[88757],"new_since":"2015-01-25"}]


you can pass multiple bugzilla-IDs to the ids parameter:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/jsonrpc.cgi?method=Bug.comments&params=[{"ids":[88757,83606,88175,85594,86984],"new_since":"2015-01-25"}]

Very likely those links will not be clickable, but using copy'n'paste
should work. If you're using a non-mainstream browser, you might have
to manually encode the brackets and maybe other characters. (firefox
and chrome should do it by themselves)
