In T240257, we implemented auto-save to the extent that a contributor's draft will be retained if their browser crashes.
This task represents the work with implementing a more robust approach to auto-save such that a contributor's comment will be saved even if they elect to close the browser tab in which they were composing their reply.

Convenient-Discussions has this feature – WIP comments are saved in localStorage, a feature I've found really useful not just because it saves them from browser crashes, but also because it reduces the tendency for impulsive comments and gives you the freedom of letting the comment sit, think things through, and come back to the page at a later date to finish the reply.
