I wasn't (for the avoidance of doubt) conjecturing that there's already a nice UI feature where you click a button and it says "wedrifid has downvoted JoshuaZ's last 20 comments" but, rather, that (1) the information is present in the system somewhere and (2) there are probably ways for a moderator to get it, even if they're less convenient than just clicking a button -- if they thought it worth the trouble.

It seems somewhat likely based on the first incarnation of the monthly karma feature.

(2) there are probably ways for a moderator to get it, even if they're less convenient than just clicking a button -- if they thought it worth the trouble.

This part is the unlikely part. A (system) administrator yes, if (1). A moderator, I doubt it.

Yeah, you might be right; perhaps the only way of getting at it is querying the database directly.
