Personally, I would say incubator would need considerable work before it can become useful for library reviews. Say, if I can made per-line comments on proposed library code, like gerrit does, it would be rather useful. If I can create design issues right away, so that they can be listed later and reviewed, it would be rather useful. It does not appear to me that wordpess post with comments is better than a thread in a mail client. At least mail client allows to collapse a subthread, or delete it.
Github provides an excellent API (https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/comments/) which does exactly as you ask.
Even a read only summary of the comments posted about a library would be very useful. And not too demanding on Github if cached via a varnish reverse proxy (i.e. we don't have to pay Github for the bandwidth).
I would say a choice of reverse proxy is a bit premature question ;-) Rather, the question is what we're trying to really achieve. One can come up with all sorts of things, like: - Gather interest on potential new libraries - Easily comment on code - Easily comment on documentation - Run tests on potential submissions and these can have multiple technical solution, like using social networks, gerrit-style code annotation, medium-style documentation comments, and changes to the test framework, but it does not appear there's a decision what we want to achieve. -- Vladimir Prus CodeSourcery / Mentor Embedded http://vladimirprus.com
