Comment:

 The latest patch adds two new functions and filters that we can use to get
 & set the default comment and ping status on a per `post_type` basis. It
 also includes four unit tests, two of which would fail before the patch is
 applied as page & cpt do not support a `closed` default value when left
 empty in `wp_insert_post` or when the `post_type` does not support
 comments or trackbacks.

 With this patch we can explicitly set the defaults on custom post types
 with a filter and still allow support for comments and trackbacks on those
 post types without having them set to `open` by default. Something I've
 personally been wanting for a while.

 Whomever is still interested in seeing this move forward, please test and
 let me know your thoughts ASAP.
