May i suggest something slightly relevant, but probably very radical? Disable comments on AUR completely.
I agree that comments are not terribly useful on community packages, but I think they're important for [unsupported]. Maybe for community packages, only allow comments from the *maintainer* (or TU). My preference is to leave it as is. Granted, sometimes people report issues for community packages on the comment page, but that's no worse than people emailing the maintainer directly (since that's still not on the bug tracker), and is better because it's more visible.
Without sounding harsh - it's not my job. We've always harped on the point that the TUs and community was an autonomous entity. What we are doing here is enabling that even more so. If the TUs and/or AUR guys want to disable comments, that's their prerogative, but there's no way in hell I'm going to add "oh and fiddle with some PHP while we're at it" to the list of things to do here.
Note, this reply was to Dolby's original comment in the other thread - it looks goofy the way I replied here
