Consider Alternatives to Disqus (SCP-008) - Use Github based Solution

Following blog has a mechanism where special Github Issues appear as comments: http://blog.higher-order.com/blog/2016/04/02/a-comonad-of-graph-decompositions/. The comment at the end of the page corresponds to: https://github.com/runarorama/runarorama.github.com/issues/22#issuecomment-218893374

I think a similar mechanism as a replacement for Disqus might be great as this would mean you can have Github to manage the comments also.

@sirinath maybe my question might seem dumb, but exactly what disqus instance are we referring to here?

pages on http://docs.scala-lang.org allow Disqus comments.

historically, we also sometimes used Disqus on http://www.scala-lang.org/blog/ , but our current thinking on that is that each blog post should instead conclude with a link to a Discourse thread (to cut down on the total of number of places things are).
