Bear with me if I am completely off, but my guess is that, if not
logged in, you simply don't get more information from bugzilla than
you can from the web interface under same circumstance (and if there
used to be a difference such that you could obtain emails as anonymous
user through BZ API, while not through web interface, it got
[fortunately] fixed).
I agree with you and think that's what happened.
I think I found my way around, I can retrieve the information attached
to an email (which is specified by the user), this includes an
identifier which I can find back for each comments.
So I can compare the identifier of the account with the identifier of
the person that commented.
I'm testing it now but it seems to work fine.
