Support sort and comment author filters for get_issue_comments

[benasher44]

Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

I want to be able to ask for a particular user's most recent comment on an issue. Today, this is hard to get via the MCP for a few reasons:

1. Comments can be long, which pushes response lengths to sizes that are beyond token limits
2. This tool call doesn't support sorting, which means you have to fetch all pages and load all comments to find the most recent one
3. Related to 2, without author filtering, you have to fetch all comments

Proposed solution

If the tool call supported sorting and author filtering, you could make a single tool call to get the most recent comment for a given author.

Example prompts or workflows (for tools/toolsets only)

1. Get me the most recent update that person X made on an issue I'm tracking
2. What are the most recent issues that person X commented on in the last 1 week (can first filter issues by updated date, then get their most recent comment on each)
3. Summarize the most recent comments that X made in repo Y

Additional context

Generally, lack of filtering for get_issue_comments makes it hard to use, given how long comments can be

Also, a list_issue_comment or something similar would be nice that would just list comment meta without comments, so then an AI could fetch comment comment separately, once the right one is identified

Hi @benasher44,
I have added a PR #1095, which should close this feature request.
