I think the easiest way is to look at my code on bitbucket, for
example my models.py: 
https://bitbucket.org/bolhoed/django_disqus_comments/src/b2c6fbb025f6/models.py.
As you can see, I have to hack my own model manager and queryset, just
to be able to use the Disqus API instead of models on the local
database.

Whatever you would want. If you make abstract base classes for getting
comments for an object, getting the count of comments, and saving a
new comment, everyone could make their own backend. You could use
Twitter for comments (with a hashtag), Disqus, a nonsql database,
textfiles...

However, I would only ship the models backend by default.

Cool, thanks. I think my basic idea should be pretty clear: just offer
an extra layer of abstraction above the ORM for the comments. I am not
sure what the best way to do this would be, but I should have plenty
of time this week to look into it.

Cheers,
Kevin
