Research direction
Start by reading the apply_all_pending method and trace how it reads pending rows, dispatches each action, and commits the result. Reproduce or reason through two concurrent calls, then verify that each pending row is dispatched once and cannot produce duplicate Bugzilla comments.

Description
[!NOTE]
This did not happen yet, so no examples, but in theory it is a bug that needs to be fixed.
The apply_all_pending method reads a run's not-yet-applied rows, then dispatches and commits each one, with no lock. Two concurrent calls both see the same pending rows and both dispatch them, so the same Bugzilla comment can be posted twice.
