I had one idea to help with picking out good comments. Include a vote
up / vote down mechanism for comments. Then it is easier to pick out
comments that hit a certain threshold (either up or down) for
inclusion or exclusion.

Ok, yes I agree, especially as the site gets larger. Initially thoughI
would argue that the barrier to commenting should be low to get
momentum going.
I really do like the way the PHP docs work, I don't know what they do
in the background, but I have found incredible use from the comments,
usually the comments are more useful than the official documentation!
I have heard many times "why doesn't Ruby or Rails have documentation
like PHP?"
