The most immediate use I see is for the original changeset author, to
amend a comment that was empty, lacking or wrong. Maybe at another
contributor's request. I sometimes PM to ask "are you sure about that
changeset ?"; the new feature allows this discussoon to happen in
public where it belongs.

 It might nice to be able to "CC" somebody when commenting, as an easy
to notify the DWG for example. But maybe PMs or MLs are still a better
tool for that ?
