comments don't get echoed

Options:

1. polling bot's PR issue comments

Docs: https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/comments/
Example: https://api.github.com/repos/thiagoarrais/personal-toolbox/issues/20/comments

2. polling notifications api

Docs: https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/notifications/
Example: https://api.github.com/notifications

3. expecting an integration webhook call for a comment on anonydog's relayed pull request

would be awesome. but it simply doesn't work :-)

anything else?

current planed version:

1. Poll https://api.github.com/notifications for any news on the various pull requests opened by the bot
2. Upon getting a notification, go to it's subject/url (this should be the pull request API URL)
3. Retrieve the pull request's comments (_links/comments) and diffline comments (_links/review_comments)
4. Mirror each comment above to the original pull request (and store the original comment ids in some database to avoid re-mirroring).

Bonus points: mirror reviews. These are different from review comments (diffline comments). They can be found on the (experimental, not linked) URL https://api.github.com/repos/thiagoarrais/personal-toolbox/pulls/20/reviews

known drawback: this can't handle edited comments, since the notifications API does not expose those.

Note to self: Normal comments are covered as of 694cba8. Need to work on review comments (diff comments).
