Ticket #40031, comment 19
initial v1 1 I think this idea of this being part of core has a lot going for it. A WordPress site should be able to be a digital home for persons and even businesses. Comment activity involves content authorship which can be as valuable and noteworthy as any post. Comments in WordPress still are a 2nd class citizen. Today most comments are lost to unappealing systems (such as Discus), closed gardens (Facebook) and lost in ephemeral streams (such as Twitter), or chained to platforms that are bound to fold (Medium being next in line after projects like posterous, friendfeed, Wave etc) and in each of these examples the comment author has little to no control. 1 I think this idea of this being part of core has a lot going for it.

It has also always bothered me that it's hard to look up a site authors comment activity on other sites. 2 2 3 3 On another front, if WordPress gets ahead of the curve on annotation features, it will be a boon for professionals who produce content in teams as well as opening up new ways of inviting reader contributions and tapping into crowdsourced improvements to content.
