I don't think "I request a reply" and "No reply is necessary" is enough statuses. A lot of comment replies invite perfectly reasonable interjection from third parties - does requesting a reply mean you want the parent to answer, or that you're trying to collect lots of data points, or anybody who can answer the question is welcome to do so?
I think anybody who can answer the question or point out a flaw in the argument should always be welcome to do so, regardless, but "I request a reply" means the author of the parent should at least set a disagreement status indicator (perhaps with "someone already answered it for me" as an additional option).
"I'm trying to collect lots of data points" seems to be rare enough, that it doesn't need to be an option. You can just say that in the comment.
