Possible to do conditional filtering by authors on pull request comments?

Body

Hi! I'm just getting into using GraphQL and am pulling a list of pull requests and their comments. Currently, I'm using the query:

query {
  organization(login: "rails") {
    repository(name: "rails") {
      name
      pullRequests(states: [OPEN], last: 5) {
      	nodes {
          author {
            login
          }
          number
          createdAt
          comments(first: 100) {
            totalCount
            nodes {
              ... on IssueComment {
                author {
                  login
                }
                createdAt
                bodyText
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

What I'd like to do is filter out pull request comments using a list of certain authors, i.e., so pull request comments wouldn't be returned if they're on this list of authors. In our repos we have some chatty CI actions that leave comments on our PRs that I'd like to exclude. The Actor field on IssueComment doesn't seem to take any arguments and SearchResultItemConnection.type doesn't seem to allow for this use case. I can't seem to find anything online about this, either, but just thought I'd ask. Thanks!
