I agree that people should probably be able to reply to comments on their own posts. However, if enabling this is a non-trivial amount of work, I suspect the LW team’s time would be better spent elsewhere.
I base this on the presumptions that 1) there aren’t too many people this policy would help (dozens? single-digits?), 2) these people wouldn’t bring much value to the community, and 3) such a policy is unlikely to be deterring people we’d otherwise want from joining and contributing to the community.
