That can be the end result, yes.  However, I think it is important to
allow others to see the replies as it will often spark additional
ideas, issues, criticisms in the areas being commented on.  Limiting
the ability to see such feedback in real-time is not transparent.  If
nothing else, allowing people to see the feedback might prevent
multiple people commenting on the same issue the same way over and
over.

Your proposed solution doesn't explicitly mention the ability to see
other people's feedback via the tool/service/whatever.  Maybe you
already had this in mind, but I would suggest you add that as a
requirement to it's design if something like this will go forward.
