16524	Add a manager/queryset method in contrib.comments to fetch comments not in moderation	Mathieu Pillard	Justin Lilly	"django.contrib.comments has a query to fetch all comments that are not in moderation, i.e. all the ""publicly viewable"" comments. 
It's hidden inside the BaseCommentNode class in templatetags/comments though, which means developers using django.contrib.comments wanting to fetch publicly viewable comments outside of a templatetag context must violate DRY and copy/paste the filters themselves.

Attached is a patch that moves this code to a manager/queryset method, and that pass all current tests. It also makes possible to use the other manager methods (in_moderation, for_model) as queryset methods."	New feature	closed	contrib.comments	dev	Normal	wontfix			Accepted	1	1	0	0	0	0
