This is how I do it:
def my_get_form():
return MyCommentForm
comments.get_form = my_get_form
This is a monkeypatch and not the way it should be done, but full
customizability for the comments app is a work in progress (see ticket
#8630 http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8630), and until that's
finished I think this is what people are doing.
