Description

Some events in the Activity Log are anonymous. i.e. there is no info about which user performed them and what their role on the site is.

#### Steps to reproduce
1. Open the Activity Log for a site for e.g. at https://wordpress.com/stats/activity/oikotimes.com?page=3

#### What I expected

Every action should have its actors name at least and an optional role.

#### What happened instead

I just see this message:

> Allowed anonymous comments
> Setting changed

There are also other types of anonymous actions for the following two activities:

> Portfolio projects enabled for this site.
> Setting changed
