The CommentParser will only consider content from the signature back to the next heading to be part of a comment. Sub headings are more often used to break up conversations than be part of a comment.

For example, your comment is structurally no different from:

== Proposal ==

Introduction ...

=== Discussion ===

First comment. ~~~~

If we were to read across sub headings, then the introduction would be parsed at part of the first comment.
