List descendant comments on delete confirm page

Created on 19 November 2007, over 17 years ago

When a comment is deleted, all replies (descendant comments) to it are also removed. We have a warning message on the delete confirm page, but it often leaves me wonder whether there are descendants, and I had to go back and double check. This patch tries to list all descendant comments, if any exists, on the confirmation page. The code may need some clean up, but I think it's a nice-to-have feature.

(This is my first attempt on patching core, hope the patch doesn't look too bad...)

Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!
