Comment (by mark-k):

 As I said in the duplicate ticket, IMO trying to support new comment types
 is the wrong approach as we are way to late for that. Comment just another
 content (post) type that like attachments can be attached to other
 content, so the natural way to register new comment types should be with
 register_post_type.

 After all, the real issue behind the ticket is to provide "comment" style
 admin to some content type. because it is convenient, and not because we
 are talking about some "real" comments.

 Bonus points to have them on different tables as the edd payment notes,
 the form post types and others just bloat the post and comment tables and
 reducing their performance without being relevant to any front-end
 functionality.
