I could not expose <fas>@fedorapeople.org as this alias exist only if
you are at least one group. Which does not need to be true for all Copr
users.
I can get user regular email from FAS [citation needed], but I'm not
sure if users would be happy if I just quote their email on public page.
It may lead to increase of SPAM in their inbox.

This apply to code we wrote or which we are hosting. However what I
would like to use is Software as a Service (SaaS). Neither hosting nor
coding on our side. Just to put few lines of HTML there referencing some
3rd party JS and that's all.
I would hesitate to do that for mission critical data, but the
discussion is completely unimportant. If it disappear one day and we
will not have the data, nothing really happen.
This is reason why I'm still thinking about Disqus, which fit our needs
best.
