We recently implemented a commenting system on BetaList. It's still under heavy development, but here's an overview of the gems we're using so far:

acts_as_commentable_with_threading provides most of functionality you need
acts_as_votable makes the comments votable (so the best ones can rise to the top)
mention_system handles @mentions. this is a very young gem, but seems to work fine
mailboxer is a very robust notification system (we notify the startup when there's a comment, when someone replies to your comment, and when you are @mentioned)

Setting up a custom domain

To set up a custom domain for your changelog ( like changelog.example.com ) follow these steps:

Create a CNAME record to proxy.changelog.co (the person on your team in charge of webhosting will know how to do this)
Email hey@marckohlbrugge.com with the custom domain you'd like to use.
We'll let you know when the custom domain is ready.
