You might want to try to re-tool m-m-forum for that purpose similar to
what we have done for ee commenting. The advantage is the minimal effort
to get this running (incl. moderation on public instance, mail
notification on new content, etc) and once we get the moderation and
transfer of content from public back to author implemented you get that
for free as well.
