If github comment threading were more sensible I think I'd prefer to see
the comments reflected.  But since it *isn't* (it is pretty much useless
outside of the web UI, and even in the web UI it is often awkward),
I think linking to the PR is indeed probably better.

Just to confirm, we are talking about a new link summarizing the comment
activity for the past N minutes, whenever commenting activity happens,
right?  It would be nice to link directly to the new comments, but somehow
I doubt that is going to be possible (at least if we batch them), so we'll
probably have to settle for just linking the summary to the PR as a whole.
