The ability to add comments on web pages is usually terrible. At best, you'll get a user adding a comment providing a useful recommendation or helpful tip. But I expect the majority of comments would actually be spam (which we would have to delete) or bug reports. Instead of implementing comments, we should refer users to existing support channels like the mailing lists and issue tracker. A list of open tickets and PRs for this port could even be shown on the page.
