Is there a time period which comments drop to almost zero? We could restrict the script to running during those hours if so.

Just my two cents, I think those comments and the infos they provide are quite helpful.

If we go with "new comments shouldn't be made", but still want to retain the information in these comments, then how about DMail to uploader + specialized forum topic, then? Uploader knows that some of his posts are changed, and anyone else willing to do gardening can help.
That might work as well.
There's another issue with the MD5 mismatch comments, that I'd like to point out : it makes using comment search by tag almost entirely useless.
For example, suppose I have a vague memory of a comic about Mystia that got some comments and I try to find it by searching for comments on posts that are tagged mystia_lorelei ... 95% of what I find is comments about MD5 mismatches. And there's no way to filter them out, either. Very frustrating.

Should these really be classified as md5 mismatches? While the image at the original url will eventually be changed, I'm not aware of that url being made available by the Pixiv frontend any longer; the revised image gets a new url. When a normal user uploads a revised image to Danbooru, it'll have the new source url. The fact that the original url will link to the revised image instead of a 404 or redirect seems like a behind the scenes implementation choice that we shouldn't be concerned with.
With the recent changes to Pixiv, the original url will now actually 404. Do we still consider this to be an md5_mismatch?
