If there is a demand for this, I will happily build it! I've been looking for a new FOSS project to start. Please either upvote or comment to let me know :)
how will you handle spam?
It'd all be manageable by whoever is hosting.
Build a minimal one in php. Basic JavaScript and php form validation before the php sends an email to a comments@domain account. The email spam filter takes care of the spam. Your moderation tool becomes the email client. Have a script that runs locally to read the email and automatically insert it into the appropriate page. In my case I insert it into a Jekyll page yaml before recompiling and publishing the comment.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Using Cloud Functions would be interesting. But how would you handle persistence?
Haven't looked, but I distinctly remember AWS Lambda +Dynamo DB based solution long back on a Show HN. I'm on mobile now, but will find and post a link later

There are others, such as https://github.com/posativ/isso/ out there too. There doesn't seem to be a single "standard" solution, because most people just don't care. They use Wordpress, or similar, with integrated comment-support, or they use disuqis.

Found this just yesterday, and really really like the concept. Would be cool if it supported logins via Keycloak, as that's what I use. Will keep watching, it seems there's some work on Oauth/SSO going on.
B.t.w. I'm thinking about starting to use pac4j, which apparently supports Keycloak: https://github.com/pac4j/pac4j/blob/master/pac4j-oidc/src/ma...

Why would you write it in php over django or node?

+ adding a cookieless just-type-name-and-email Guest login. (Session id remembered only for the current page load; everything forgotten on page refresh. This should make it impossible for iOS etc to classify this as a tracker.)
