I've considered it - though not in as much detail as you have. And I understand the motivation but this would require a lot of work. Making it work smoothly with the current native comment system would be a lot of work and probably maintenance. So that wouldn't be in the cards for some time - if ever.
The current comment system is (I believe) well suited to those C++ programmers which do not use the boost dev list.
True, but it doesn't immediately raise a discussion - a message posted here gets seen by quite a few people, hopefully some of whom will be motivated to respond. One thing I like about comments posted on Gibhub is that they're generated as emails direct to the repro owner, who can then respond via email rather than by the web interface. But I realise that may be hard to achieve for the incubator - in an ideal world all comments would be reflected here, and replies here would be copied to the incubator. Then you keep everyone happy! John.
actually, another option would be a button which says "show comments on this library from the boost developer's list". A hack, but more doable.
again, I'm hoping that the incubator evolves into the go to place for commenting on prospective libraries. This would save the comments in a good place and "de-clutter" the boost developer's list a little bit.
