An admin or bureaucrat can turn off the commenting feature altogether. I think it's a terrible idea to do at the same time as protecting every article from new editors. Then there's absolutely nothing innocent new editors who just want to help can do. If we leave the comments open then at least an innocent new editor can leave a comment on the article if they see something to fix.
