Not sure where or if its worth mentioning, but this migration is taking 
me around 30 minutes on my instance. So announcing a maintenance window 
is probably advisable.

Comment is an unused variable.

You need a try/except block here, eg:

         try:
             # when available, this can only return one entry due to the
             # unique_together constraint
             Comment.objects.get(patch=patch, msgid=patch.msgid).delete()
         except Comment.DoesNotExist:
             # though there's no requirement to actually have a comment
             continue

I see no need for a v3 once you've fixed this.
