  Description     : fast, bloat-free comments platform

Commento is a platform that you can embed in your website to allow
your readers to add comments. It's reasonably fast
lightweight. Supports markdown, import from Disqus, voting, automated
spam detection, moderation tools, sticky comments, thread locking,
OAuth login, single sign-on, and email notifications.
----

The other package in Debian similar to this is Isso, written in
Python. Isso is heavier than Commento (40KB vs 11KB) and slightly less
featureful. Commento also supports a PostgreSQL while Isso uses
sqlite.

I am not using it yet, but I'm considering it to replace the comments
system on my blog.

  I use commento, and am interested in getting it included in Debian.
The upstream project seems to be abandoned, but there is an actively-
maintained fork of the project at
https://github.com/souramoo/commentoplusplus. Current targeted package
