Yup.

I've added a link to the drupal comments administration interface, which
will be visible to editors on the lefthand side just above 'log out'.
Maybe this addresses the issue with comments?

here is a direct link (you must be logged in as an editor):

http://infoseed.co.uk/admin/content/comment

I will look into getting the same functionality for articles. It isn't
quite as simple as enabling access to the drupal article admin
interface, because that would also allow bypassing the normal feature
voting process.
