How can I find all public comments for a Github user?

Until recently I was able to find all my public comments using a link on my profile page. I was using this functionality to keep track of all issues where I have commented, but not contributed anything. It was under a section called "Public Activity".

This function seems to have been removed. I can not find anything about it on the help page about profiles.

Does anybody have any information on when and why this was removed?

You can do this with an advanced search query. In the Issues search box, enter "commenter:username".

Or if you want to search a specific repo: "RepositoryName commenter:username".
