Allow changing rule to post comments

[lilyfan]

The required fields for comments form is defined at wp-comments-post.php and is hard coded.
This patch provides a filter to change rules posting comments. For example, name is required, rather email or website is required.

Punting to be evaluated in next development cycle due to time constraints.

I think the pre_comment_on_post action would let you handle this. You just turn off the Wordpress name/email check and hook your own.

Like I said before, I think there are enough existing hooks to let you achieve this.
