I have a site with a few content types in use. I want the same comment settings to apply by default to all content types, and I'll bet this isn't an unusual need.
Drupal should have a hierarchy of comment settings, starting with a master setting for the entire site, then a per-content type setting, then a per-node setting.
If something is not specified on a child setting, then the parent's setting is used. For example, if nothing is specified in the node's comment settings, then it uses its content type's settings. If there's nothing there, then use the master site settings.
