Hi all,
It seems this was fixed, or was perhaps an issue with a specific theme? I've checked a few themes and see the asterisk is there for the comment textarea. Since this doesn't seem to be a bug currently and it's been years since any activity, I'm going to close this ticket to help clean up Trac. Feel free to reopen if you think there's a bug in WordPress that should be fixed.

@bckelley, Good catch. It's core software bug for comment form.
Default comment form textarea(comment) field is not required field to submit any comments so we needs to remove that attribute from comment textarea field to fix this issue.
Also added 2nd-opinion for core developer feedback.
