I'm pretty sure the permissions dialog is misleading, but it sucks. I expect that it really cuts down on the number of people willing to leave a comment. Since it’s powered by GitHub discussions, and the discussion itself needs to be public, anyone wanting to comment but not wanting to authorise Giscus to act on their behalf could go to the discussion on GitHub and leave the comment there directly I assume
