how it works
When Utterances loads, the GitHub issue search API is used to find the issue associated with the page based on url, pathname or title. If we cannot find an issue that matches the page, no problem, utterances-bot will automatically create an issue the first time someone comments.
To comment, users must authorize the utterances app to post on their behalf using the GitHub OAuth flow. Alternatively, users can comment on the GitHub issue directly.

Maybe using GitHub comments would eliminate some of the "don't look at the comments, don't look at the comments, don't look at the comments" existential-level dread that comes with having enabled other comment-engines and seeing that you've got a new comment waiting (for moderation ...since, long ago, had to change to 'approve-to-go-live' comments to reduce the amount of comment-spam).
I wonder if there's a way to move/copy comments from discus to there.
such scripts do exist, but the author would be whatever the Github commenter's author is, so you'd have to modify the username or something within comment text
Wow that's exactly what I will use on my upcoming blog. Ta!
