Edit default comments page in WP Admin

The comments are displayed using an instance of the WP_Comments_List_Table class which is defined as the global variable $wp_list_table.

You could extend this class and then use any action after $wp_list_table is defined (admin_head-edit-comments.php would work) to create an instance of your own class, copy all properties of $wp_list_table to the instance of your class and replace $wp_list_table with it.

It’s not pretty but it will work and as long as there is no way to override _get_list_table() which defines the original $wp_list_table it’s all you’ve got.
