I fully agree that it would be good if CKAN could support other commenting
systems which allow people to keep control over their data. I don't really
like Disqus for the same reasons. But I think ideally we support the
integration of a good existing commenting system rather than building one
ourselves.

Does anyone know of a good commenting system that allows people to keep the
data on their own servers and doesn't force them to sign up with an
external system?
