 This came up as I was looking at trying to close #3491.

 This is a 9 year old ticket that proposes that hooks be added to allow
 plugins access to trackback and pingback data.

 @markjaquith had pointed out that the best solution is to use the
 preprocess comment hook, but this doesn't allow the data to be saved into
 the comment.

 The simplest solution is to modify wp_insert_comment to save anything not
 in an existing field into comment meta and then modify pingbacks and
 trackbacks to save that data into the meta.
