GitHub: move issue comments to different issues

A user posted a comment to an existing issue on one of my GitHub repos and his comment should really have been added as a new issue. There is now a whole mini-thread that is misplaced. Is there any way to move these comments to a different issue? I've seen a number of questions on moving issues amongst GitHub repos, etc, but haven't been able to find anything on moving comments.

You can "Reference in new issue" clicking on the "..." button of the comments, then create a new issue with these comments and continue on it.

It's not perfect but it could help moving the discussion elsewhere.
