Sorry. I'm trying to get this happening soon.

We've actually had a few proposals along this line. The proposals  
were a bit premature, as we need to do some research on current  
comments practice first (see http://microformats.org/wiki/process for  
guidelines on how to go about developing a microformat).

And to take a step back, this page documents current comment practice:
http://microformats.org/wiki/comments-formats

Feel free to add your own observations to that page.

Just FYI, here are the proposals (don't worry about them at this point):
http://microformats.org/wiki/mfcomment
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcomment

Look at the comments-formats page. Talk to others who are interested  
in it (esp. on this list). Research, propose, iterate.
