Accessibility of third party comment systems such as Disqus?

Hi!

Do you know of accessibility reviews of any of the third party comment
systems (for example disqus.com and aboutecho.com)? These are gaining
popularity and are often replacing the built in comment systems in
content management systems such as Wordpress. A review could help
these companies get accessibility on the agenda and improvements would
immediately be available to thousands of websites.

I am interested in seeing if someone already did this or if we could
get some people together to do a quick review of the technical
aspects.
