Add a configuration option to disable comment titles
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Currently, top-level comments are required to have a title to be posted, forcing users to either think of a title to their comment or copy part of their comment content into the title field. This requirement does not exist for reply comments. It would be beneficial to have an option to disable titles completely, allowing top-level comments to function similarly to reply comments, saving users time.

This has also been requested on the extension's talk page:

This would be a relatively substantial change to the extension, as there are a lot of places in the code where it assumes the existence of a title. Also, the database field for the title is mandatory, so this would involve a schema change. It would not be impossible, but it would not be simple.
