Comment (by jb510):

 Two plugin solutions for disabling comments https://wordpress.org/plugins
 /disable-comments/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments-rb/
 have been taken over by new developers and quickly turned into a bloated
 mess.  Nobody needs a web app built into their dashboard just to "disable
 comments".

 Usually, these ancient tickets seem like a lost cause though.  Is there
 any hope for a patch for this actually making its way into core at this
 point?
