You can already update a bug's description; the same facility and design could fruitfully be expanded to allow users to update their own comments. The fact that you leave a history of the change should already suffice to curb blatant abuse, although of course, there is still some room for a creative vandal to mess things up.

The "me too" case I think is more compelling than the "obsolete comments" scenario, although both can be handled by what is being proposed. Imagine if you could condense the first 14 comments into "multiple users confirmed this bug".
