I think Jesse's point (or, if he's not willing to claim it, my

that, compared to the mandatory comment system, it makes much *more*
sense to have a mandatory field for “URL to the BTS for this project”.
One might look at the "competition" for inspiration. Looking at CPAN.
There's no "comments" feature, but there is a "CPAN RT" bug-tracker
which appears to be a way for users to submit comments/problems about
packages in a way common to all packages in CPAN, but distinct from
upstream's bug trackers/lists/etc. I'd assume that gets emailed to the
listed maintainer of the package as well as being accessible to other
users, although I don't really have any idea.
e.g.
http://search.cpan.org/~capttofu/DBD-mysql/lib/DBD/mysql.pm
There might be something to be said for providing users a way to
provide feedback that doesn't require making a accounts in a bazillion
separate bugtrackers.
