Add a WordPress plugin that replaces their comment system, the same way Disqus' does so, and you'll instantly work with over 1 in 5 sites on the web -- 80 million websites or so. If you really want this to take off, that'd be what gets the growth going and gives you a large enough userbase to figure out what's going to break and what features you need. It also addresses early adopter concerns about what happens if Komments goes away: a WordPress plugin can simultaneously store all the comments in the native format as well as in Komments so that it can be swapped out at any time.

There is also Isso, a open source and self-hosted comment tool that implements on your site just like Disqus.
