Description:
I was trying to add some tags to another bug report, but not a comment.  The system wouldn't let me.

How to repeat:
Go to the edit tab of a bug
Add tags, don't add a comment
press submit, watch the error message.

Thank you for the bug report. Looks like that is allowed in this way
just for the original bug reporter and developers, please try to add a tag in this
bug report how I did. Thanks in advance.

Nope, it tells me "You must provide a comment." unless I add a comment as well.

Btw - having it as it is might make sense since the system only has limited logging (?) of the edits, but it'd be neat if it would just default to "added/removed tags: ...".  

Actually, when the tags are edited, maybe it should always add that to the comment.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

Yes, only developers can add tags without comments. This might be fixed for a non-dev. submitter as well.

Adding a comment makes sense even if one just changes tags.
Won't fix.
