Heh, already put a few hours doing something like this. There's some django-discus attempts out there--have you looked at them? I haven't bothered to notice if any use the comments framework but it sure would be handy to make comments out of discus or backtype feeds or variants thereof.
But whether it was in trunk or just somewhere on github, I'd use it either way. In my thinking about doing this I never really ran into a compatibility/patch issue.
