I doubt your patch would be accepted by Jesse. Chances are this isn't
a result of some mistake. I'm willing to be that in his view Comment
and Reply both modify the ticket so the ability to do those things is
implied by the ModifyTicket right. I would recommend doing an _Local
overlay to accomplish what you want.

Come to think of it, when a ticket is replied to there are other
fields in the ticket that are updated. Certain timestamp fields and
also TimeWorked I think. Those would all fail if you could reply to
the ticket but not modify it.
