A reusable django app that extends the django-contrib-comments framework with:

1. Thread support, so comments may be nested
2. The maximum thread level can be set up either for all models or on a per app.model basis
3. Optional notification of follow-up comments via email
4. Mute links on follow-up emails to allow follow-up notification cancellation
5. Comment confirmation via email when users are not authenticated
6. Comments hit the database only when have been confirmed
7. Template tags to list/render the last N comments posted to any given list of app.model pairs
8. Comments can be formatted in Markdown, reStructuredText, linebreaks or plain text
9. Emails sent through threads (can be disable to allow other solutions, like a Celery app)
