Bug Description

While testing a solution for https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1088609 , I discovered that no user is given the option of approving comments that are queued for moderation on Group Pages.

So, we should probably do that. But who would it make sense to add for comment moderation on Group Pages?

1. The group administrators?
2. Any group member?
3. Add a control to the Group's "Share" tab that lets you specify whether admins, tutors, and/or members can moderate? (or would that be overkill?)

Alternately, we could simply eliminate the comment moderation feature for Group Pages.

Of course, part of comment moderation is that Page owners get a notice when someone comments on the page. In the case of Group pages, no one gets a notice when someone comments on them. So no one is ever likely to come by and approve the comment. Then again, why should that mean people can't use comment moderation?

Have begun fixing this by allowing group admins to see private comments needing to be moderated on a view.
This will allow them to make the comments public (existing code for this part).

Bug 1171311: Allow group admins to moderate group page comments

As there is already code to verify/submit group page comment
moderation I've added a bit of code to show the private pre-moderated
comments on group pages to group admins so they can moderate them.
