I am not sure this is a good move (allowing comments, specially if the 
user does not enter a valid email address.) I am not looking forward for 
comments like "your game suck" specially if there is no way to reply or 
conduct a meaningful conversation with the person. Dumping these 
comments here does not help at all, and actually makes matter worse.

The way I see it, we should either fully support a communication 
channel, or do not offer it. This is so that people that take the time 
to contact us can receive educate and meaningful replies. Up until now I 
was completely ignoring the comments on games.kde.org, really. I am not 
sure how other authors are dealing with this. And this is bad for people 
that comment as well, as their input is not being heard.

I believe one of the problems when we did the website was not having a 
proper forum on kde.org. But now, we do have one. So we have already 
three methods for people to contact us:

a) This list
b) Bugzilla
c) Forum

I am not a fan of Bugzilla, but it IS the KDE-wide method for getting 
feedback and for users to report issues. And there is also this list. I 
think that games.kde.org should encourage people to post their issues 
and contributions to this list or bugzilla, so in time we could turn 
this feedback into enhancements to the games. If we decide to have an 
official presence in forums.kde.org, then I think it is also a good 
channel for feeback. But the comments at the site are not really useful 
for us at the moment, and are just a great way to have trolls eating our 
motivation for contributing.
With the forums and list we have mechanisms already in place to deal 
with contributions (for example the new CWG, and the CoC). I think it is 
unwise not to use this, and offer yet-another way for input to get lost. 
What do you guys think?

So I would vote for
