We want to update the edit comment flow to support editing/adding mentions. This does not mean adding support for the auto-complete component. Just parsing the mentions in both directions. This means that when someone goes to edit a comment with a user or report mention we should:
- convert that from html to markdown so that it can be edited
- perform the proper markdown to html conversion when the edited comment is saved so that if mentions have been added/removed we properly send that to the API
This is covered in the mentions v2 design doc here.
