pardon my ignorance, but isn't there a solution that adds a Github comment box right below your post, and you comment directly with your Github account?

isn't that better IF the commenter has a GH account? (if you're writing a personal tech blog, then it's not a problem, your readers are Github users already)

Github issue or discussion based plugins require OAuth

If you look closely, some OAuth scope requires "Act on your behalf". Others require "repo" scope which means read your private data.
