Why would you want to do that?

I think rich text in comments is evil, for the same reasons as HTML e-mail.

Yes, with markdown you won't often see unreadably colored text (what happens
with HTML e-mail), but still there is pretty much room for abuse of formatting
(to attract attention or just because they can), or accidental formatting when
non-markdown text is interpreted as markdown resulting in a total mess
(which inexperienced users cannot fix and leave as is).

BTW, GitHub recently added rich text UI controls to code review comments, so
even those who don't know markdown can start abusing formatting there now...
