Thanks! :)

The lack of comment numbers is due a a different design:

In GC the comments were strictly linear in time, so a
monotonically increasing comment serial number made sense.

In Allura, comments can be threaded (you can reply to an earlier
comment) and so a monotonically increasing serial number isn't
well-defined, but due to threading, back refs within an issue are
not needed so often.
  
There is a link field available in every comment to cut and 
paste in order to refer to it from elsewhere, including other
issues, when threading doesn't meet the need.
