Changeset 50271 for trunk/src/wp-includes/comment.php

Message:

Comments: Extend the duration of the window within which unapproved comments are visible by their author.

This extension is necessary because the comment approval notification opt-in form introduced in [47887] uses the same mechanism, and the previous limit of one minute meant that users on a slow connection, using assistive technology, with limited motor skills, or who are generally indecisive may not complete the opt-in action within one minute, and therefore not see the confirmation message.
