I imagine bug 22094 and bug 24382 can be related too....
Comment 2 Sam Reed (reedy) 2010-11-21 23:44:08 UTC
Tracking bug that will be fixed...
Comment 3 Jack Phoenix 2013-11-15 16:38:47 UTC
Having CodeReview support multiple commenting backends (i.e. [[mw:Extension:Comments]], LiquidThreads, etc.) would be nice. However, that's not a high priority since the current system works well enough.

Additionally, this bug will never (or at least in the forseeable future) be fixed as-is, because the current version of LiquidThreads is "no longer actively maintained" (as per https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:LiquidThreads&oldid=794592) and it has plenty of open bugs, and the planned new version, 3.0, is "on hold" or "canceled" (as per https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=LiquidThreads_3.0&oldid=647230). Therefore it doesn't seem beneficial to switch a working, albeit simplistic, backend to something that has many known issues and no-one to actively (try to) resolve said issues.

In addition to a lack of support for LiquidThreads, the CodeReview MediaWiki extension has been abandoned in favor of using Gerrit for Wikimedia wikis, adding to the reasons that this bug will never be fixed.

(tangentially...)

It may be difficult to believe, but Gerrit's discussion system is actually worse than LiquidThreads' (and Bugzilla's). That said, Gerrit's discussion system has shown some improvement over the past year; for example, it no longer collapses comments so aggressively. It's still fairly hostile to collaboration, however.
