This is a first update of @linkback-bot-v0. Read more about linkbacks in the introduction post. After an initial test run I made some improvements:

• Incoming links in comments are now sorted by created datetime starting from the latest entry.
• Author names are now prominently featured.
• Performance and parsing accuracy improvements.

I'll be starting a second test run shortly.
