(Started to make a top level comment, but commenting here still felt right for the sake of replying to the “google docs” bit.)
I really like the ideas floating around in the post, and I’d be excited for things to move in this direction.
Having google-doc-comments and a system around them which makes sense does seem like a fairly obvious potential big win here. I’m glad you aren’t fixating on that and are exploring the shape of the problem first.
A public comments / private comments distinction may be associated with this; lots of ways that might work out. (Is there a group of “reviewers” who can make private comments? Can they see each other’s comments? Who sets such a group? Probably that’s too inorganic… but the dynamic of public vs private comments could get weird...)
